Items of note
- Another Cobra shell company is introduced: Carbo Plumbing.
- The man wearing glasses sitting next to Gen. Hollingsworth looks like his old friend General Flagg. But since that General Flagg is long dead,[1] could this be an appearance of his son?

Real-world references
- The Joes in Millville are there to visit Mutt's uncle Jeff. Mutt and Jeff was the first daily newspaper comicstrip, started in 1907.
- The garbage thrown at Spirit's feet, and the closeup on his face that immediately follows, is a reference to the famous "Crying Indian" anti-pollution ad from the '70s.
- Roxy compares the Mobile Command Center to a Sandcrawler from Star Wars, and the ramp of the C-130 to Close Encounters of the Third Kind, then offers the "aliens" some Reece's Pieces, like in E.T. Her "Sci Fi Freak" hat does not lie.
