USGI French Flag

French National Tricolor

This is the national flag of France as stocked through the US Army supply system. The Army keeps allied national flags on hand for ceremonies, color guards and joint events where a partner nation's colors are flown alongside the Stars and Stripes. It suits units, veterans' groups, collectors and anyone who wants an authentic government-issue French flag rather than a novelty print.

Features

• French Tricolor Design — Three equal vertical bands of blue, white and red, with the blue band at the hoist, the edge that sits against the pole.
• Cotton And Polyester Fabric — Made from a cotton and polyester blend.
• USGI Provenance — USGI stands for US Government Issue, meaning this flag was procured for the US Army rather than made for the retail souvenir market.
• Ceremonial Use — Fits color guard details, honors ceremonies and formal displays where France is represented.
• Allied Event Display — Suitable for joint training, visiting delegations, sporting events and other occasions involving French personnel.
• Collector And Reenactor Interest — Issued foreign flags are sought after for military collections and Franco-American history displays.
• Flexible Display — Can be flown from a staff, hung on a wall or displayed in an office, mess hall or meeting room.

US Government Issue

This flag came through US Army channels, which carry the national colors of allied countries for official functions. The French tricolor is a regular sight wherever US and French forces serve or train together, and an issued example has a provenance that a commercial flag cannot match. The cotton and polyester construction is the original government specification for this item.
