While there is no need for a sword in modern warfare, it’s still very much a part of ceremonial regalia thanks to the prestige and splendour of the traditional officer’s uniform. While soldiers are carrying arms, officers are normally to wear swords. On occasions when officers wear an order of dress in which swords may or may not be worn, instructions on the wearing of swords should be issued by Commanding Officers or formation commanders. Officers, who are members of a church congregation and who are not taking part in any parades before, during or after the service, should not wear swords unless ordered to do so. As part of the Ceremonial Accoutrement, a combination of the following are required; sword knots, sword frogs, sword belts and sword slings.
