The US military breaks down its force as follows: Flag Officers or generals and admirals form the top echelon followed by Field Grade for colonels, lieutenant colonels and majors and their naval equivelant. Next is company grade for captains, lieutenants, warrant officers and ensigns followed by the enlisted ranks headed by the staff nco's and chiefs. NCO's and petty officers are next and at the lowest level are the bottom two pay grades, the seamen, PFC's and privates. That gives you six different groups or classes in the military structure.
Quoting (Somebody) Everett, "Officers of the rank of Rear Admiral, Vice-Admiral, or Admiral are designated as flag officers. When one of them takes command of a ship, a task force or a fleet, the chief signalman is given the job of raising the Admiral's flag." The Admiral's flag is blue with white stars. A Rear-Admiral will have two stars on his flag, a vice-admiral will have three stars, and a full Admiral rates four stars. A very rare case would be five stars for a fleet admiral. "During the ceremony the flag is bunched up into a ball and hoisted up in that fashion until it gently bumps the masthead and the balled up flag breaks open to a full flag furl. When this takes place the flag officer's flag has broken open and he has taken command." To say that a Commander "Broke his flag," means that particular officer has been assigned task force or Fleet Commander.
