U s army field flag g spec 3
Today as I was walking through a building I fould a display of all the service flags but the the Army flag was blue. I have never seen this or recall seeing this. I asked a couple of people and no one knew of it and thought it to be an error in the color pattern. I later was able to find the origin of the flag. Learned something new.

What do you think this is? Without googling it.

Product Description
This U.S. ARMY FIELD FLAG is made to official Department of Heraldry specifications (G-Spec)and features the official Army crest appliqued onto a blue field. It is available in an indoor version (Pole hem and fringe) or outdoor version (grommets or snaphook & ring). It is also available is several sizes. P

The 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 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.
