Spanish term or phrase: bandera
En Argentina, cuando un soldado (no profesional) se encuentra haciendo el servicio militar obligatorio (ya no lo es mas actualmente) se dice que está "bajo bandera"
Se que servicio militar obligatorio se dice "selective service", pero "Bajo Bandera" es mas especifico, es estar disponible (hasta que caduque el periodo) para lo que la milicia ordene.
