◇When the flag is displayed in a manner other than by being flown from a staff, whether indoors or out, it should be displayed flat. (Figure A. USA’s flag as host. The same as below)

◇When flags of cities, states, or localities, or pennants of societies are flown on the same halyard with the national flag, the latter should always be at the peak. When the flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the national flag should be hoisted first and lowered last. No such flag or pennant can be placed above the national flag or to the right of the national flag (the viewer’s left). When the flag is half-masted, both flags are half-masted, with the national flag at the mid-point and the other flag below. (Figure B)

◇The flag is hoisted to half of the potential height of the flag pole to indicate grief and mourning. The flag, when flown at half-staff (“Half-staff” means lowering the flag to one-half the distance between the top and bottom of the staff), should be first hoisted to the peak for an instant and then lowered to the half-staff position. The flag should be again raised to the peak before it is lowered for the day.

◇The national flag, when carried in a procession with another flag, or flags, should be either on the marching right; that is, the flag’s own right, or, if there is a line of other flags, in front of the center of that line. (Figure C)

◇The national flag should be at the center and at the highest point of a group of flags, when a number of flags of States or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed from staffs. (Figure D)

◇When the national flag is displayed with another flag against a wall from crossed staffs, should be on the flag’s own right (the viewer’s left), and its staff should be in front of the staff of the other flag. (Figure E)

◇When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace. The order of precedence for flags usually is national flags (your nation’s flag first, then others in alphabetical order in English), then other. (Figure F)

◇When displayed from a staff in a public auditorium on or off a podium, the flag of your nation should hold the position of superior prominence, in front of the audience, and in the position of honor at the speaker’s right as he/she faces the audience. Any other flag should be placed on the left of the speaker (to the right of the audience). (Figure G)

◇When the flag is displayed on a car, the staff shall be fixed firmly to the chassis or fastened to the right fender.
