Which type of flag is typically smaller than the standard U.S. flag?

The Storm Flag is usually smaller than the standard U.S. flag. It is specifically designed for use during inclement weather conditions when larger flags can be damaged by strong winds and heavy rain. The size of the Storm Flag allows it to fly more easily in adverse weather without being subjected to the same level of stress as a larger flag.

In contrast, the Garrison Flag is the largest of the U.S. flags and is used for display on days of observance, while the Standard Flag is the common size for everyday use. The Jack, on the other hand, is a smaller flag used in naval contexts, typically flown from the bow of a ship. The distinction in sizing is important for proper flag etiquette and ensures flags are displayed appropriately for various circumstances.
