Could some one who owns the USMC Pack tell me if the flags are part of the pack? Or do you have to hand paint them? Inquiring minds want to know.

I had the original boxed set from Alien Dungeon and can't remember any flags in it

No flags. But, the good news is, under vendors, you'll find Cotton Jim - who has a huge range of flags for 15 mm. Please note - the Marine flag prior to WW2 was Blue not Red. Lastly, Happy Marine Corps b-day!

Well, since AQMF is a fictional universe/timeline, why not red flags for Marines? Nice splash of color on the table.

The idea of the USMC having a special flag for the Martian Campaign is very sound.
Typically, the Marines serve overseas. Serving in the USA and on the "Brown Water" they would be using some new trappings to go with their new mission.
The Marines were traditionally a bit behind the Army with regard to technology until WWII. I think that when fighting the Martians, they will quickly equip for the mission. Likewise, as seen by Scott's inland cutter, the Navy will develop the weapons they need to turn the US heartland into a hell for Martians.
The Marines will develop banners suitable for delivering mayhem to the Martians.

I've no problem with which ever color the Marines carry into battle in AQMF. That was just a 'historical note' nothing more. For an interesting contrast consider green, orange or black - no self respecting Marine would carry a yellow flag in my opinion  |

You can probably find images online which you could scale down and print out.

boxholder, you will love this Marine quote. "Retreat hell, we just got here!"

Remember: The Germans called the US Marines who fought them in WWI Devil-Dogs. It was a derisive term. The Marines now use it as a nickname.
There will be colorful expressions of various types used by Marines.

Tenacity, fighting spirit, and offensive mindset are definite virtues to the side possessing them. They are a curse to the opponent. Two sides of the same coin, depending on whose looking at it.
Adopting an opponent's derisive term as you own nickname is a good solid slap at them.
