regimental colors in camp

Greetings to all:

I was involved in a discussion today in regards to regimental colors flying in camp. Was it done in real life or is it a re-enactor thing. If the practice was done in real life, where was the flagpole; at the regimental commanders tent, other tent? Or did the regimental color sergeant keep the colors furled in his tent until formation? In the discussion, I mentioned that in Gods and Generals and other WBTS movies, I did not recall seeing any colors flying in Camp scenes except for the main flagpole with the national colors flying.

Any assistance in this discussion would be appreciated and thanks in advance

Best regards

Bryan Green
