We know this because it must fit into the current 'present day' of the main Marvel Universe's Steve Rogers/Captain America but it is unplaceable as we don't have enough information to pinpoint that at this time.
If one accepts the concept of the sliding timescale of the Marvel Universe, the events of this story might only take place at this point from its own point-of-view and they might move forward in time relative to new stories. Galactus, a god-like character with this fictional universe says in "The Utimates" #5 v2 that 'The present moment--the "now"--hurtles from past to future along a stream of events. And events have weight. Sometimes, the weight is vast--sometimes, so light as to be undetectable. But some events--those with a peculiar, unique gravity-- are caught by the present. Dragged in its wake, like planets about a sun. Always just a handful of years behind...' As Douglas Wolk wrote in 2021, "The big Marvel story is a funhouse-mirror history".
This comic-book was retroactively collected into a hardcover and paperback re-titled "Captain America: Truth: Red, White & Black".
It is a chronologically midway comic in the Marvel Comics Universe multiverse timeline. It can be read after the previous issue, "Truth: Red, White & Black" #6 (2003) or at its timeline point in Steve Rogers/Captain America's story.
