The recruiting sergeant who recruits Dagwood into the Organized Reserve Corps wears the patch of the 42nd Infantry "Rainbow" Division on his left shoulder, indicating his current unit. (The patch is also improperly rotated 90 degrees clockwise.) The 42nd "Rainbow" Division is a National Guard unit which, while having essentially the same one weekend a month and two weeks of Annual Training schedules as Reserve units, is under a separate command structure under both Federal control and that of the home states of the subordinate units as the State Militias.
