The flag of the Chief of General Staff of the Togo Armed Forces (Chef
de l'État-Major des Forces Armées) follows the same design
as the flag of the President of Togo but with different detail
contained in the red canton. This has a golden emblem consisting of two
rifles in saltire, an anchor palewise and an emblem standing
symbolically for wings, with over all a white five-pointed star.

The flag of the Armed Forces is based the national flag, but motto of the Armed Forces is placed on
three green stripes of the flag: "VALEUR ET DISCIPLINE" (Value and Discipline). The name of the
country is written in two rows over the white star, and the motto of the country is written under the white
star in three rows: "TRAVAIL, LIBERTE, PATRIE" (Work, Freedom, Homeland).

The flag of the Commander in Chief of the Navy (Commandant de la
Marine) is of the same design as the previous flags. In this instance
the
emblem in the red canton consists of two golden anchors in saltire
and a white star superimposed in the
middle of the canton. This star seems to be notably smaller than the
one in the national flag (being about the same height as one stripe).

The Togolese war pennant (flamme de guerre) is a
long triangular pennant of green over yellow with red panel at
hoist.
The ratio of the pennant is given as 1:7~ in Correction 26 and
1:6.6~ in the original issue of L'Album 1990. The red field is
given as
less the 1/10 of the fly in the original L'Album 1990,
and is not quoted in correction 26. The image in correction 26 shows a pennant of ratio about 1:11 (my
estimate), with red field being of the same width as the
hoist (but that would agree with "less the 1/10").

This naval ensign reported by Jaume Ollé is unconfirmed. (Ed.)
I haven't found any pictorial evidence of existence of this ensign. The national flag is used by naval
ships as ensign and jack as well.
