Military ensigns

This template includes a naval ensign flag variant that can be used with Template:Navy:

• {{navy|Template:Str right}} → Template:Navy
• {{flagicon|Template:Str right|naval}} → {{country data Template:Str right|flagicon/core|variant=naval|size=}}

This template includes an air force ensign flag variant that can be used with Template:Air force:

• {{air force|Template:Str right}} → Template:Air force
• {{flagicon|Template:Str right|air force}} → {{country data Template:Str right|flagicon/core|variant=air force|size=}}

This nation's army ensign is the same as its national flag, so Template:Army produces the following:

• {{army|Template:Str right}} → Template:Army
