Army Transport Service, 1949-present - Authority for the previous flag was rescinded by a War Department circular on January 14, 1947. A new flag, brick red with the Transportation Corps device in golden yellow, was prescribed on April 5, 1949. I've posted this flag before, so am not sending it again.

Army Transport Service, 1943-47 - After the Transportation Corps was established as a separate corps of the Army, a change to AR-260-10, published in 1943, replaced the Quartermaster Corps badge on the ATS flag with the badge of the Transportation Corps, in red.
