Editing Colour guard (section)

=== Taiwan (Republic of China) ===
In Taiwan, the colour guard tradition of the [[Republic of China Armed Forces]] is modeled on the German, Russian and US practice. Until 1976, each military unit sported a singular stand of colours on parade, as opposed to the honour guard of the ROCAF, which is more aligned with the traditions of the US Joint Service Honour Guard of the [[Joint Force Headquarters National Capital Region]]. All colour bearers of formations above company level must be, following US tradition, holding the rank of sergeant or above as a non-commissioned officer, while the colour escorts are lower ranking enlisted personnel. All wear full dress, service dress or battle dress uniforms. Since the National Day parade of 1978, the format of unit colour guards in ROCAF formations of battalion size (and of equivalent formations) is:

* Left escort
* 1st 2 company guidon bearers
* Unit colour
* 2nd 2 company guidon bearers 
* Right escort

Brigade-level colours (and above) are guided by the left and right escorts only.

The joint service colour guard of the ROCAF General Headquarters, today as in the past, is similarly composed but is more larger, with its composition being

* Left escort
* Air Force Flag
* Naval Jack
* Army Flag
* [[Flag of the Republic of China]] (National Colour)
* Army Honour Guard Unit Colour
* Navy Honour Guard Unit Colour
* Air Force Honour Guard Unit Colour
* Right escort
