The mounting of Quarter Guard is a ceremonial event. The Quarter Guard is mounted by the Adjutant and others on weekdays; on Saturdays and Sundays, it is mounted by the Duty JCO of the Day. The best turned out Other Rank is selected as the Commanding Officer's Stick Orderly who has the privilege of accompanying the Commanding Officer wherever he goes. Pipers and Drums do not form part of the Quarter Guard. If the Commanding Officer visits the Quarter Guard, it always turns out unless specifically ordered not to.
