Description: The flag of The Four-Power Joint Military Commission (JMC) during the final days of the American War (also known as the "Vietnam War").
Title: Flag of the Four-Power Joint Military Commission (JMC) - Ivan Sache (7 January 2013)
Credit: The Four Power Joint Military Commission (1973). - For the critical transition from war to peace, the Accords empowered three commissions to oversee the implementation phase and resolve any differences. The Four-Power Joint Military Commission (JMC) represented each belligerent: the United States, South Vietnam, North Vietnam, and the Viet Cong. At the conclusion of the 60-day cease-fire, this commission would in theory shed its protective outer garment (U.S. and North Vietnam) and become the Two-Power Joint Military Commission, an insular body representing the interests of the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam) and the Provisional Revolutionary Government of South Vietnam (PRG, the Viet Cong). (CRWFlags.com). G.R. Dunham & D.A. Quinlan. 1990. U.S. Marines in Vietnam - The Bitter End - 1973-1975. The flag is shown in Smith's Flags Through the Ages and Across the World (1975){smi75b} as red with a black "4" in the middle. A footnote in p. 300 (International flags) says: "The flags opposite have been presented in a single shape and size. The correct proportions however are provided below each flag." The flag of the the Four Power Joint Military Commission is labelled with 1:1 proportions, therefore square. - Ivan Sache, 7 January 2013. (CRWFlags.com).
