As the host of the inaugural AARM, the Malaysian Army was given the honor of designing the AARM Flag.

The red background on the flag symbolizes the color of the Army, signifying courage, bravery and resolution.

While the AARM inscription at the top center denotes the ASEAN Armies Rifle Meet, the gold color on the inscription symbolizes the importance and the value of the meeting as the premier Rifle Meet for the armies of ASEAN.

In the center of the flag is the logo of ASEAN and its designation denoting the spirit of ASEAN in which the meeting is conducted.

At the bottom right hand corner, a pair of cross muskets symbolizes the object of the meet and the perpetual relationship between the soldiers and his firearm.
