Infantry and Artillery - Infantry and artillery units carry
the national flag, 90 x 145 cm, with the coat of arms on the
center and, inscribed on the upper blue stripe the words DIOS
UNION LIBERTAD [God, Union, Liberty] and on the lower the type
and number of the unit, all in gold. The staff is 250 cm
long and 4 cm in diameter, with a gold-colored rhomboid
lance-head, edged on the sides and at the point. [Below the
lance-head, two blue and white streamers are attached, but I'm
not sure of the specific design.]. There is only one artillery
regiment in the SV army.
Cavalry - Cavalry units carry the same flag, but with the
inscriptions in silver.

Fuerza de Marina Nacional was established in September of last year [2023].
“The
Organic Law of the Salvadoran Armed Forces has been amended in order to
modernize its structure, composition and operation. The Naval Force has thus
been transformed into the National Marine Force, absorbing the Coast Guard
Service Unit.”

I haven’t
found any picture of flag with new emblem, but likely it is used on flag instead
of previous one. The new flag should be a white field charged with it new
emblem.
