The band is from the Army's Engineering Replacement Training Center at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. I would assume that Group 2 refers either to the second class being process by the center or a particular section within the training center.
By the way the guys are drinking Royal Crown Cola. Now what they might have slipped into it is anyone's guess.
