Abstract:

From the earliest times, warriors used a banner or other symbol to identify specific units and to serve as a rallying point for troops. In medieval days, the standard or banner was used to signal a general assault, which was generated by a cry of "Advance your banners" (FM 3-21.5).Later, this duty and responsibility fell upon the Color Sergeant - a sergeant in a color guard who carries on the colors.
