The flag size changes to the military unit size as follows:
Group flag 85cm X 105cm
Battalion flag 75cm X 95cm
Company A flag 65cm X 85cm
Company B flag 55cm X 75 cm

Company A flag is larger than Company B flag and its width of line
is wider than one of Company B flag.
Nozomi Kariyasu, 05 March 2014
Well, in the images, the A flag is wider, but the relative width of the
stripe is the same. Does that mean that in reality the flag is also higher, and
the stripes in also higher, but is relatively the same size?
Are the other five flags all the same size, with just the Company A flag larger?
Or are all Intelligence flags larger than Band flags?
What, by the way, is the reason for the small white rectangles at the bottom of
the flags?

They write the name and the number of the unit.
