  I know there's a CHAIN of command and CHANGE of command.
  
  For chain of command, the unit CO, few officers, Chief WO, Specs and men will run...
  
  As for change of command, normally is a parade, speech, hand over the symbol (what do you actually call that?) of command, taking the oath and the SAF pledge. Most of the time, the formation (e.g. UNIT CO) commander, e.g. Base commander will be present to witness the whole thing.
  
  If the change of command is for the commander of formation (e.g. BASE commander), more senior officers will be present, might not be the Chief Officer (like COA, CON, COA), but will be the rank of Brigadial-General (BG / 1 star) or Rear-Admiral (Radm / 1 star).

  COC for who?
  
  During 2003, Changi AB had COC for base comm, some clerks were forced by the RSM(CWO) to do a simple parade.

  COC sometimes is really waste of time and $$$. I won't state what unit this is.
  
  That time BDE commander change, the battalions under the BDE must go BDE HQ every day rehearse. Then the COC includes a mobile column, so the vehicles from the BN also must go BDE daily.
  
  I don't understand why the BN cannot use the vehicles that is in the BDE but must drive everything there. FYI, the BDE HQ camp also have a within its camp compounds.
  
  Then on the actual COC itself, the BDE RSM wants the vehicles in the mobile column look nice and glossy. So one WO go use motor oil and oil the entire vehicle to give it its shine, waste oil, damage car.

  last time my camp got this Change of Command for a NS commander and all those NSmen officers under him were invited for the parade.
  
  i was taken back when i saw those LTA(NS)'s uniforms, yellowish, ragged and frayed. typical NSman looks.
