contents We prove that any triple of complete flags in $\mathbb R^d$ admits a common generating set of size $\lfloor 5d/3\rfloor$ and that this bound is sharp. This result extends the classical linear-algebraic fact -- a consequence of the Bruhat decomposition of $\text{GL}_d(\mathbb R)$ -- that any pair of complete flags in $\mathbb R^d$ admits a common generating set of size $d$. We also deduce an analogue for $m$-tuples of flags with $m>3$.
