The American
Military flag features 175 streamers on the staff. All these stand for the different battles and
operations that the Army joined through the years. Every unit in the US army has its own version of the military flag,
complete with streamers that showcase the battles and experiences of the specific group. Every unit also presents its
own distinct flag which will be showcased under the Army flag.
The Marine Corps flag is scarlet with the corps emblem in the colors gold and gray. A white ribbon scroll can be
found underneath with “United States Marine Corps” stated. The guidelines and rules are quite similar to the Army.
The Navy flag of the United States features a dark blue background with the official white and gold seal of the
department. You will find a gold ribbon scroll over the seal with the words “United States Navy”. Some versions will
not include battle streamers.
The
Navy flag is not usually featured in outdoor setups at naval stations or even in ships. It is generally featured
from a pole on the quarterdeck through ships in port. The US national flag is usually noticed on ships at sea. This is
placed on top of the main mast. In port, the national flag is usually featured at the rear portion of the ship. Ships in
port will feature a small flag or jack which is just the size of the blue part of the US flag. The jack is positioned on a
jackstaff and includes the thirteen white and red stripes. On top is the picture of a rattlesnake saying “Don’t Tread on
Me”.
