The Flag Act of 1979 (BE 2522) established most of the current unit flags. The designs and (scant) specifications can be found in Chapter 3 (Military Colors), Section 32. Unlike the unit colors that are Royally Granted, these flags are presented by Army leadership and would be used more often than the unit colors.

With exception to the Army Corps flag, the other unit flags will be modified with these colors. In this section as well, the name of the unit is placed in Thai numerals and abbreviations if there is multiple units of the same type on the same level.
