As in Britain, the Defence Forces of France have been brought
under a single Minister, known in the past as the Ministre des
Armées, now the Ministre de la Défense
Nationale. A flag for this Ministry was introduced in 1966,
consisting of a square version of the national flag for use at sea
(30:33:37) with in the middle of the white stripe a golden emblem representing
Armée de Terre (Army), Marine Nationale (Navy)
and Armée de l'Air (Air Force) in the centre in gold.
The car flag is similar but in ratio 7:8 and with a golden border (not
