![[Defense Minister]](../images/a/ar^min.gif)
I guess that previously (in 1995 Album
issue) pictured flag of the minister of the
Navy was surpassed with this one, presumaby as the ministeries of
Navy and Army joined.
Flag of Min. of Def. is light blue with the emblem of the Ministry in
the middle. The emblem consist of the national emblem
of Argentina over a golden anchor and sabre in saltire and pair of
wings. The emblem at the official
website and the one in Album have
some minor differences — e.g. the position where the wings
“meet” is in about the middle of the emblem in Album and on MinDef
pages it seems it is in base of the emblem. Ratio is given in Album 2000
as 7:10.

The cockade (escarapela) on top of every officer’s cap, from
armed forces and security institutions (polices, air force, etc.). have
the same design as the air force roundel,
only the white circle usually has a black fimbriation.
