During World War II, the Library of Congress was interested in protecting some of its more valuable collections and Mohrhardt offered surplus space available at Washington and Lee University for this purpose. During the war Mohrhardt performed military service in the U.S. Army Air Force, U.S. Navy and was involved in civilian duty. During this time he moved often, was stationed at Fort Lee for army service in 1942, then went to Indianapolis as a civilian instructor in electronics (during his education Mohrhardt received some training from General Electric) and aircraft turrets; in 1943 and 1944 he was involved in radar work for the Navy.
In 1946, he began as assistant and was then promoted to chief of the Library and Report Division of the Office of Technical Services at the Department of Commerce. The OTS was established in 1945 as the Office of Declassification and Technical Services and was re-designated the next year. The OTS was responsible for processing materials coming from Germany and other countries, as well as U.S. Military documents. Processing involved indexing and listing of the materials, and sometimes translations; the documents were then appraised for their value to the public and private sector and made widely available, where appropriate. Due to the volume of materials, it encouraged the development and application of mechanization as well as new automated techniques for information handling
