American Flag in Center of 5-Man Color Team?

This is another picture where I just have my palm smack my forehead in disbelief. This formation is not allowed for a military color team! This formation is allowed however, if the color forms and remains in a ā€œVā€ formation with the American flag centered and in front. Yep, go to my Downloads page and start reading the military manuals.

Thanks to Levi Frost for this photo of an Army color team (ROTC cadets or maybe National Guard?) at a college football game in Iowa, possibly Drake University.
