Presidential standards

Throughout the republican era, the Standard of the President of Egypt has been identical to the national flag, with the addition of the coat of arms in the upper-left corner. Even though the Constitution of Egypt states that the President is the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, the flag of the Supreme Commander differs from the Presidential Standard. It is identical to the national flag, with the addition in the upper-left corner of a white Eagle of Saladin contained between two crossed swords. The Supreme Commander also has his own naval ensign, air force flag and air defence flag. Military ordinances state that the flags of the Supreme Commander must be hoisted during the President's visits to each military unit. The national flag must be hoisted in the middle, with the Presidential Standard on its right side, and the flag of the Supreme Commander on its left side.
