Will the U.S. Army flag be dipped?

• A. No.
• B. Yes, as organizational color is dipped.
• C. Only in ceremonial parades.
• D. Only during combat.

Answer: (B)

In flag etiquette, the national flag and a unit’s colors are treated differently. The national flag is never dipped to show respect to a person or another flag. The unit’s organizational color, however, can be dipped in certain ceremonial moments to honor or show respect within a formal ceremony. So the statement is correct in the sense that the unit’s flag may be dipped, even though the national flag itself does not dip. This distinction helps maintain proper respect while allowing ceremonial gestures through the unit’s colors.
