brigadier Slobodan Kratohvil Honor Guard Battalion (Croatian: Počasno-zaštitna bojna) is a military unit of Armed Forces of the Republic of Croatia that performs protocol tasks for the needs of top-level state and military officials, as well as tasks related to the protection and security of the Commander-in-Chief (President of the Republic of Croatia).

The Ceremony of the Changing of the Guards is performed by the members of the Honor Company, a unit of the Honor Guard Battalion, and it takes place in Zagreb, in the area between the Banski dvori and the Saint Mark's Church, on Saturdays and state holidays at 12:00 (CET) in the period between 27 May, and 1 October.

The Honorary Guard is dressed in ceremonial historical uniforms designed as an original model drawing on the formal dress of the Croatian magnates and virilists of the Croatian Parliament from the historical period of Croatia proper (Banska Hrvatska) and the costumes of the Croatian National Revival period (19th century).

The new uniform model thus incorporated the centuries-long military tradition and aspirations of the Croatian people for its own state.

The design and the vivid colours are complemented with a cap with a golden Croatian coat of arms, tight-fitting braided jacket and the overcoat, white gloves and officer's dagger (worn by the commander) and the leather ammunition case.
