Trivia

Shoulder patch

All of the soldiers stationed at the base wear the patch of the United States Third Army or the "Army of Occupation" which is the Army Service Component Command (logistics). They are headquartered at Fort McPherson and not at the base where the film is set this was likely done as to keep what unit that it is ambiguous. This was also done in the films Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay which had the sexually abusive Guantanamo Bay soldiers wearing the obsolete patch of Army Ground Forces; and Day of the Dead (1985) (Captain Rhodes wears the patch of the long deactivated 99th Infanty Division).

All soldiers in the film wear the patch of the United States Third Army.
