Positional Color, Director of the Army Staff. The badge is the branch insignia of the General Staff. The black and yellow of this color derive from the cords of mixed black and gold that used to be worn by staff officers on the campaign hat. The Director of the Army Staff is a lieutenant general (three stars); he is the Army's top operations officer. This flag is also the positional color for the Deputy Chiefs of Staff.
