Which flag is typically used for ceremonial purposes and is larger in size?

Post Flag
Standard Flag
Garrison Flag
Battle Flag

The correct answer is: Garrison Flag

The Garrison Flag is specifically designated for ceremonial purposes and is indeed larger than other flags typically used by the Marine Corps. Measuring 20 feet by 38 feet, the Garrison Flag is prominently displayed on special occasions and during national holidays, symbolizing pride and respect. Its size and ceremonial significance set it apart from the Post Flag, which is smaller and used for everyday purposes, and the Standard Flag, which is a standard size for operational use. The Battle Flag, while important, usually serves a different historical and combative context rather than a ceremonial one. The Garrison Flag embodies the formal aspect of military traditions and ceremonies, making it the correct choice for this question.
