Source	https://www.police.lk/index.php/special-task-force-/63-special-task-force-crest-a-flag
Article	Special Task Force (Sri Lanka)
Portion used	entire flag
Low resolution?	low resolution
Purpose of use	This image is a low-resolution image of a military organization's flag This image does not limit the copyright holder's ability to profit from the original source, nor will it dilute the importance or recognition of the flag in connection with its military organization This image enhances the article in which it's displayed, as it provides an immediate relevance to the reader more capably than the textual description alone Use of the military organization's flag visually identifies the university and its products in a manner that mere prose cannot, and meets all criteria in WP:NFCC Though this image may be subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because: It illustrates an educational article about the entity that the flag represents. The logo is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the article is written or authorized by the owner of the flag
Replaceable?	Not replaceable; flags are always presumed non-free
Fair useFair use of copyrighted material in the context of Special Task Force (Sri Lanka)//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:STF_SL_flag.pngtrue

Non-free media rationale for Special Task Force (Sri Lanka)
Article	Special Task Force (Sri Lanka)
Purpose of use	The image is used to identify the military unit's infobox, and help the reader identify the organization, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the organization, and illustrate the organization's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey. The organisation in question is a unit of the Sri Lanka Police, and is thus an integral part of any article aiming to fully inform a reader.
Replaceable?	Because it is a non-free logo, there is almost certainly no free representation. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.
