# Our Work Will Help Decide - 'Where Do We Go From Here?'

A coloured map of the Mediterranean and North Africa, with white arrows from Gibraltar to Moroccan and Algerian ports, sits inside a border of silhouetted weapons and equipment, under a banner with a lathe worker. The identity-fusion tell is 'OUR work will help decide', which ties the factory worker's output to the course of the campaign on the map.
