FED Rule book, p. 74 at the bottom: Arts 1k,3 - First offense-warning.

"First offense" indicates to me that there is a foul, which requires a flag. The "warning" is the penalty, which has nothing directly to do with dropping a flag.

The flag is very powerful because it is VISIBLE to everyone and it lets everyone know that there is a problem. I have found that coaches are appreciative that there is no yardage associated with the first flag and they actually clean up their act. I've never worked a game where we had to throw a second flag for this.
