Editing Guard mounting (section)

===Singapore===
In Singapore, the ceremony is performed at the main entrance of [[the Istana]], the official residence of the [[President of Singapore]]. Held on the first Sunday of each month, the ceremony begins behind The Heeren, a [[shopping mall]] at [[Orchard Road]], where [[military police]]men from the Silent Precision Drill Squad of the [[SAF Military Police Command|Singapore Armed Forces Military Police Command]] (SAFMPC) leads the contingent of new guards in a march down the road towards the Istana, with the [[Singapore Armed Forces Bands]] providing music and beats.

Upon arrival at the gates of the Istana, the actual change of guard ceremony takes place, after which the Silent Precision Drill Squad performs their precision drill routines with the accompaniment of music provided by the band. The old guard then marches off together with the band to Handy Road, where the entire procedure ends.

The COG was first performed by servicemen from the [[Guards (Singapore Army)|Guards]] formation before it was being handed over to the SAFMPC on 4 May 1980. The Silent Precision Drill Squad was added to the ceremony in 1987. The COG begins at 6:00pm. The new guards begin their march at 5:45pm, and the old guards end their march by around 6:30pm.
