The officer carrying the flag is the one who keeps the whole patrol together.
They aren't there to win fights on their own. Their job is to watch the field and give signals. A low dragon horn means stay alert. A sharp tiger horn means call in more men.
To a standard bearer, the flag matters more than their own life. They'd sooner die than let it fall.
