Singapore Armed Forces order of precedence

For the purposes of parading, the Unit and Formation Regimental Colours of the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) are arranged according to an order of protocol. This is the order in which the 36 Regimental Colours of the Singapore Armed Forces parade. The oldest Colours is placed on the left of the observer, and the sequence follows, with the youngest Colours taking the last position on the right. There are exceptions to this rule in the Singapore context, such as the placement of the Regimental Colours of the Commandos. SAFTI MI and Commandos Regimental Colours do not observe the order-by-date-of grant arrangement. These Colours precede the SAF's first Regimental Colours (1SIR - 27 July 1961), despite being granted on a later date.

In Air Force and Navy parades, the respective Regimental Colours of these two services will be paraded in a similar order as listed below excluding those of the Army and joint-service units/formations.
