The Military Banner is made of light blue satin fabric; It has light blue satin ribbon applications around its edge and a cross with an emerald green ribbon flower is formed in the center. At the top of the stem, it has five green and blue ribbon flowers, in turn forming a cross.
The blue color represents the sky of the Yaqui universe and the green the existing vegetation in it. It is used to bless the territory of the ethnic group at the beginning and end of the festivities with a wave movement pointing to the four cardinal directions.
