Trivia
The reference to the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas suggests that this episode is set during the last eight months of the Korean War. The Sands opened for business on December 15, 1952 and the armistice ending the Korean War took effect on July 27, 1953.

Goofs
When Col. Flagg tells everyone to close their eyes so he could leave, you hear him running and then glass breaking as he jumps out the window. However the windows are made up of plastic sheets, not glass, and glass wouldn't be used in tents, or in a mobile unit near the front line.
