Blue and red flag with white castle

Engineer Regulation 840-1-1 provides that a division or district engineer may authorize the flying of a pennant to denote his or her presence aboard a vessel. Only one such pennant may be flown at a time; if the division and district engineers are both aboard the same vessel, only the division engineer's pennant is displayed. The pennants are 29 x 45 inches. If a general officer of the Army is aboard, his flag is flown instead of the division or district engineer's pennant.

Division Engineer pennant: vertical stripes of red (9 inches wide), white (15 inches wide), and blue, with a red Engineer castle measuring 7.37 x 12 inches centered on the white.

The colors are specified as Old Glory red (Cable #70180 on the Standard Color Card of America) and National Flag blue (Cable #70077).

The Corps of Engineers� South Atlantic Division is one of eight regional offices of the Corps overseeing military and water-resources design, construction, and operation in the eight states in the Southeast, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. The division has five districts located in Wilmington, N.C.; Charleston, S.C.; Savannah, Ga.; Jacksonville, Fla.; and Mobile, Ala.

The South Atlantic Division designs and builds major military facilities for the Army and Air Force in the Southeast. Serving 11 major Army posts and 13 Air Force bases, the division builds barracks, hospitals, office buildings, commissaries, and other facilities to meet the needs of the American military. Within the division boundaries, 32 percent of the stateside Army and 18 percent of the Air Force find their home, and four major commands have their headquarters. The Mobile and Savannah Districts handle military programs for the division.

The red flag with castle appeared after 1470, mainly white castle on a red background but the reverse also is known. In the 16th century the plain flag appeared with full arms. The whaling vessels used a flag (red or white?) with a whale. The war ships bore a on red background a destroyer with weapons, attested 1863. The Admiralty flag was created c. 1624. After 1600 the shield was missing on the flags and the castle was drawn directly on the background. The castle was white or red and the background red or white. In the 17th Century is attested a blue flag with a white castle. The red, white and blue ensigns have the same system as the British Navy and Hanoverian Navy. After 1751 the red flag with a white castle was imposed. Castle versions are known at least from 1751, 1834, 1862, 1894 and 1948.

• CRW Flags - History of Cambodian Flag

By Whitney Smith Edit History

horizontally striped blue-red-blue national flag featuring, in white, the main building of Angkor Wat, an ancient temple complex. The flag’s width-to-length ratio is 2 to 3.

In different artistic representations, the central building of Angkor Wat has appeared on Khmer national flags since the 19th century, in the early days of the French protectorate over Cambodia. The first flag was red bordered in blue with the temple in white. The flag was “modernized” in 1948 by adoption of unequal horizontal stripes of dark blue, red, and dark blue, and the temple was altered to correspond more closely to the original. That flag continued in use after Cambodia became independent. However, the end of the monarchy and the proclamation of the Khmer Republic resulted in a new flag in October 1970. The “core flag” became the canton, while the field was blue with three white stars.

Communist rebels first used the 1948–70 flag but came to power in April 1975 beneath a plain red flag. When their Democratic Kampuchea adopted its constitution in January 1976, a three-towered yellow temple silhouette was placed in the centre of the red flag, only to be replaced by a five-towered yellow temple when Vietnamese-supported forces proclaimed the People’s Republic of Kampuchea in 1979. Rival “State of Cambodia” (Khmer Rouge) and “Cambodia” (Vietnamese) governments established further flag adaptations prior to the United Nations administration, which flew a light blue flag with a silhouette map of the country in the centre. The United Nations helped bring an end to civil strife, and it led the country to free elections by 1993. The flag of 1948–70 was again hoisted on June 30 of that year.
