The Second Service Command was established in the summer of 1941 in order to manage the administrative, logistical, and support activities in the area formally controlled by the II Corps (New York and New Jersey), while II Corps mobilized and trained to go overseas. The WACs shown here are wearing the Second Service Command patch first authorized on 14 October 1941. Note the WAC on the right has her patch sewn on backwards! Also shown here is an earlier version of this patch made with an olive drab border.
