The relative proportions of the border are approximatively: Red 3, each of the others 1; the total width of the border is approximatively half that of the depth of the flag. The number of links symbolises the Western Union's five members; the flag was first seen in October 1949. The flag might have been introduced and used as a command flag of Commander in Chief Admiral of the Fleet Rhoderick McGrigor during Exercise Verity in 1949, the only major exercise held by the organisation.

The flag was flown on a car belonging to Bernard Montgomery, Chairman of the Commanders-in-Chief Committee. A photo of the flag is shown in the book entitled Badges on Battledress by Howard N. Cole; the original caption states:'NCOs of the Corps of Royal Military Police displaying the Western Union Standard which incorporates the badge of the Headquarters, Western Europe Commanders-in-Chief'. It doesn't say; the flag ceased to be used upon the creation of NATO's Headquarters, Allied Land Forces Central Europe in August 1953, at which point one extra link was added to the emblem, symbolising the United States. Similar to the Western Union, AFCENT was based in France. AFCENT was developed into Allied Joint Force Command Brunssum.
