US Army // Field Flag
Sub-collection: U.S. MilitaryThe high cost of the Army Flag (due to the fact that it must be issued with the full set of embroidered campaign streamers) led to the development of the Army Field Flag. It was an important departure from the ceremonial fla. It is identical in design to the Army Flag except that the main colors are reversed (ultramarine blue field, white insignia, yellow fringe) and no campaign streamers are authorized. Dimensions are 3' at the hoist by 4' at the fly. Like the Army Flag, this flag is intended to be displayed indoors or carried on parade.
The flag design was approved by the Under Secretary of the Army on 12 April 1962.
