Continental limits

Consider the following sentence:


"My report read: 'Confined TO THE CONTINENTAL LIMITS, eligible for corps area service command or War Department overhead only'."


The report is of someone who had undergone a physical examination for military purposes.



And to try to understand the initial sentence better, is the part of the United States that lies between Northern México and Southern Canada ever refered as 'continental limits'?

'is the part of the United States that lies between Northern México and Southern Canada ever referred to as 'continental limits'? I believe the common term is t he continental United States, which is the part that is on the continent of North America. This includes Alaska, which is not south of Canada, but Alaska is not connected to the other states.
