Flag: U.S. Outlying Islands 🇺🇲
Copy & Meaning

The flag of U.S. Minor Outlying Islands — the collection of small US territories in the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea including Wake Island, Johnston Atoll, Midway Atoll, and others. These remote territories are primarily used for military purposes or wildlife refuges, with minimal or no permanent civilian population.

Midway Atoll was the site of the pivotal 1942 Battle of Midway in WWII. Used for geographic discussions of US Pacific territories, military history, wildlife refuge discussions, and the category of small uninhabited or minimally inhabited US possessions.
