Albanian Armed Forces flag

The flag of the Albanian Armed Forces flag is the same dimensions as the US flag and consists of the emblem of the Albanian Armed Forces on a rectangular white background.
Not only does it fly in front of the Ministry of Defense in Tirana, where it is immediately to the left of the Albanian national flag as you stand facing it, it also flies over all Albanian military, naval, and air force bases.
