This volume describes the organization of Army forces for the protection of the continental United States before and during the war, the steps toward improving continental harbor and air defenses, the Army's role in civilian defense and in guarding nonmilitary installations, and the measures for continental security and threats to it after the Pearl Harbor attack. There is also a detailed account of the evacuation of persons of Japanese ancestry from the west coast, and a briefer account of the similar action planned for Hawaii. The book also covers the Aleutian campaign, and Army defenses for the protection of the Panama Canal and the Caribbean area against enemy intrusion.
