This template is within the scope of WikiProject Flag Template, a collaborative effort to maintain flag templates on Wikipedia. A more thorough discussion of the flag template system, including parameters not described here, can be found on the project page.

Military ensigns

This template includes an air force ensign flag variant that can be used with Template:Air force:
