Which dimension correctly describes the Post flag's size?

• A. 8 ft 11 3/8 in by 17 ft
• B. 5 ft by 9 1/2 ft
• C. 6 ft by 10 ft
• D. 9 ft by 18 ft

Answer: (A)

Flags on military posts follow specific, standardized sizes to keep a uniform look across installations. The Post flag is defined as 8 ft 11 3/8 in tall and 17 ft long, giving a near 1.9:1 height-to-length proportion that matches the U.S. flag’s official ratio. That exact description—8 ft 11 3/8 in by 17 ft—reflects the standard Post flag size used on typical post poles. Other dimensions correspond to different flag categories (for example, storm flags are around 5 by 9.5 feet, while larger garrison flags and smaller field flags have their own standards), so they’re not the Post flag size.
