Yangon Command

by Zachary Harden, 17 December 2021

This flag (see photo) was described to me [by a flag dealer in Yangon] as "Yangon Army". I don't necessarily know what that means. However, it has triggered an idea in my mind. I now wonder if the mystery purple air force flag I sent might be Yangon Air Force. Both the YAF? and the YA flags are purple with red and white badges in the center.

I can confirm that this flag belongs to that of the Yangon RMC that is based in the region. The red star on a white circle is the command emblem and it is used on soldier uniforms and unit flags in the region.

Coastal Region Command

Here's the flag described to me as the Regional River Patrol flag. I have no clue what the RRP is, but do think I possibly saw the flag on a patrol boat. The flag I saw was wrapped around it's pole making it hard to see. However, if forced to guess, I would say this is the flag I saw. It is square and measured roughly 2 x 2 feet. This particular one that I photographed was unfinished. Several inches of the top of this particular flag is folded back over the top of the display case.

Clay mentioned part of the flag in the photo was folded over, so in order to make the seven stripes work with the position (presumably central) of the large star, I had to arrange the stripes in the RBWBWBWB at the ratio 5-1-1-1-1-1-1-1.

This flag in question belongs to the Coastal Region Command, primarily covering the region of Tanintharyi. I have not seen a cloth flag (besides what we already have), yet there is a drawing used by the military showing the pattern we have here but in a 2x3 ratio. I could not make it out clearly with the star pattern. This is one of fourteen Regional Military Commands (RMC) present in the Myanmar Army (Tatmadaw Kyi).

There is a cloth flag, which is their command badge placed on a red background.
