The United States is boldly divided into territories, each assigned to its nine Army Corps. Offshore, two concentric 'plane' and 'fleet patrol belts' stand sentinel, guarding against foreign threats. Tiny symbols on the map denote the locations of American and British military bases.

Dominating the scene, oversized depictions of American warships and aircraft capture attention. Informative notes detail statistics about operational and under-construction warships, showcasing our naval supremacy.

The poster is outlined by a Stars-and-Stripes banner and an eagle clutching a ribbon bearing the timeless quote attributed to George Washington: 'To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.'
