In the United States and United Kingdom militaries, purple refers to programs or assignments that are "joint", i. e., that are not confined to a single service such as the Army or Navy, but apply to the entire defense establishment.
 
Assignment to one or more joint billets is required for promotion to flag rank (Rear Admiral and higher) in the U.S. Navy.
 
Officers in joint billets are sometimes referred to as "wearing purple" (the phrase is purely metaphorical as there are no purple uniforms in the U.S. or UK armed forces).
 
During and before World War II, the Japanese used a code known as PURPLE or the Purple Code.
