Abstract
A superiority of man power, raw materials, and industrial capacity, plus the protection afforded by two oceans, have been sufficient to assure to the United States a share in the victory in past overseas wars. However, Lieutenant General Ira C. Eaker warns that warfare of the future practically will eliminate both time and space factors; that, to remain on the winning side, the United States must reorganize its entire defensive structure to provide for the eventuality of sudden attack on home soil.
