The following units can have pennants:
- institutes;
- hospitals;
- direction units;
- supply units;
- command companies, interns companies and schools' maneuver companies;
- any other unit.
There are three sorts of pennants:
- formation pennants are rectangular (50 cm x 40 cm) with a golden fringe (3.5 cm) and cravat (15 cm x 8 cm);
- company pennants are rectangular (40 cm x 30 cm) with a golden fringe (3 cm) and cravat (15 cm x 8 cm);
- section pennants are rectangular (34 cm x 27 cm) with a golden fringe (3cm) and cravat (15 cm x 8 cm).
Both obverse and reverse's color is amaranth.
The obverse bears the attribute of the health service (15 cm at most for formation pennants, 12 cm for others). The reverse bears the insignia of the unit, of the same size as the attribute, and its name and number (3 cm high).
In schools, valedictorian have a pennant of the same size as a company pennant, also amaranth, with the school's insignia and name on the obverse (12 cm) and, if there is one, the valedictory's insignia and name on the reverse.
The insignias are in metal and must evoke a unit's tradition and history. They must not have more than three elements.
Pennants can receive military honours if there is no flag.
