Scope This task force covers all topics related to military heraldry, customs and traditions, including flags, decorations, badges, emblems, practices, holidays/anniversaries/remembrances, music, etiquette, ranks, slang, and other topics. Any article related to this task force should be marked by adding Culture-traditions-and-heraldry-task-force=yes or Culture=y to the {{WPMILHIST}} project banner at the top of its talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax).
