The military flag of El Salvador is pure blue over white over
blue flag with the state's coat of arms, ratio 189:335. The
military flag is used by the goverment on land and the military
forces on land and sea.
The coat of arms itself is similar to Nicaraguan, but more
complicated, with five flags around the triangle and green
branches. Text around it sais: REPUBLICA DE EL SALVADOR EN LA
AMERICA CENTRAL. In the middle of the triangle above the cap
is the date 15 DE SET DE 1821 (15th of September, 1821),
the independence day.
