Detail of the oval
by Zeljko Heimer
The flag is square, quartered in white, red, blue and white.
In the first white field, there is the emblem of the Republic of
Croatia Armed Forces (Oruz<ane snage Republike Hrvatske). The
emblem is the same oval as on the flag of the Minister of Defense
and presidents of parliament and government, with different
symbols in it - a golden shield carring the Croatian coat of
arms, behind which there are two crossed swords in saltire (the
same kind of swords as on the Minister of Defense flag) with
white square each on the hilts. In lower part of the shield there
is lower end of a golden anchor, and at the top there is the
winged emblem of the Air Force - golden with red lozenge. The
wings enter partially into the golden border of the oval. The
size of the oval is the same as on the Minister of Defense flag,
that is approximately 43% of the flag hoist in height, and 34% in
width. The position is in the middle of the white field. This
emblem, similary as the emblem of the Minister of Defense is
authorised by law.

The flag is red square with white orle (inner border) and with
the emblem of a general in the middle. The emblem is the same as
the emblem for the Minister of Defense, but without the letter M.
The width of the white orle, and the width of the red border
around it are 1/16th part of the flag hoist each. This flag is
for use on the naval ships for generals of all (five) ranks.
