Organizational Flag, 414th Quartermaster Group. Buff and light blue are the Quartermaster branch colors. The group flag for QM units, however, has a buff field with a "national flag" blue stripe and yellow numerals, the reason being that a light blue stripe with buff numerals would provide insufficient contrast against the buff field.

U.S. Army: Quartermaster Corps Pennant (1923) Per the 1923 edition of AR 260-10, vessels operated by the Quartermaster Corps, other than ships of the Army Transport Service, flew a triangular red, white and blue pennant with the branch insignia of the Quartermaster Corps centered in the white diamond-shaped portion. This pennant was made of bunting in two sizes: 4-foot hoist by 6-foot fly and 2-foot hoist by 3-foot fly. This pennant is not described in the 1931 edition of the regulation, so it was apparently abolished at some prior time.
