Here is the flag of the Pakistani Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, taken from Album des Pavillons (2000). I used the 5:8 ratio given in the Album, even though its image is actually the same 2:3 size used for the President and Chief of Naval Staff images on either side of the Chairman's flag in the Album. I preserved the ratio of white to green of 1 to 5 and used RGB 0:102:51 as the closest match for the shade of green. The central device and wreath are touched up from a scan of the Album picture, used with permission.

I can confirm, from a meeting at Joint Staff Headquarters, that the flag shown in Album des Pavillons (2000) is correct, except that the veining in the leaves is light yellow rather than green and the yellow circle surrounding the badge is narrower. It flies outside the Joint Staff HQ along with the national flag and the
Joint Staff flag and is displayed with the national flag in the conference room. The embroidered version in the conference room is trimmed with green, white, red, yellow, dark blue, and light blue intermingled fringe; the national flag with which it is displayed has green and white intermingled fringe. Both appear to be less than the normal 2:3 ratio--possibly 3:4 or 4:5--but I wasn't in a position to do any measuring.

Joint Staff

by Joe McMillan

A vertical tricolor red-dark blue-light blue, with the same combined services device as on the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee flag on the center (without the gold ring). On the outdoor flag, the device was fimbriated white (shown here); on the indoor flag displayed in the Director General's office it was fimbriated gold.
