The Sierra Leone Armed Forces are responsible for the territorial security of
Sierra Leone's borders and defending the national interests of Sierra Leone,
within the framework of the 1991 Sierra Leone Constitution and International
laws. The armed forces were formed after independence in 1961, on the basis of
elements of the former British Royal West African Frontier Force, then present
in the Sierra Leone Colony and Protectorate.
The Flag of the Armed Forces
is based on the national flag, but emblem of the Armed Forces is placed in the
middle of the flag overlapping into green and blue stripes.

The flag is green with a blue triangle placed on hoist side of the flag.

There is a
picture taken in front of the Ministry of Defence, where five flags are
hoisted, first one is the national flag, second one is this green flag, and
there are three more flags, but I have no idea what they are.

The drawing above show the flag as blue, and its hoist triangle as green, but
it is described (and as shown in the photos linked above) as "green with a blue
triangle placed on hoist side of the flag". Certainly in the photo from the
Ministry of Defense, the second flag is blue with a green triangle. Perhaps both
combinations exist?
