The Army of Arcerion is the largest branch in terms of personnel and mission set, however it is not the oldest branch of the Armed Services, with the senior branch being the Arcer Navy, which itself draws its lineage from the Arcer Maritime Patrol Service during the days where Arcerion was a Carnish colony. The Army itself is broken down into Active and Reserve components, with roughly 25-40% of troops belonging to Active, full-time Regiments, and the remaining being Reservists serving part-time. | The Army of Arcerion is the largest branch in terms of personnel and mission set, however it is not the oldest branch of the [[Armed Forces of Arcerion|Armed Services]], with the senior branch being the Arcer Navy, which itself draws its lineage from the Arcer Maritime Patrol Service during the days where Arcerion was a Carnish colony.

The Arcer Army currently has several commitments, both as national missions and as part of the greater [[Cronan Security and Trade Union]] commitment for peace and security in Crona. Arcerion maintains a peacekeeping presence in Kelekona, which regularly sees a considerable number of infantry and armoured battalions cycling through, with support from other arms to build infrastructure and mentor host nation forces. Additionally, members of the Arcerion Commando Regiment regularly conduct counter-terror special operations missions in [[Kelekona]], [[Telokona]], and [[Malentina]], although the Arcer government has yet to officially announce their deployment outside of the Northwest Border Security Zone (NWBSZ). The NWBSZ is a deomestic support to civil authority missions that annually sees three battalions rotated into Oakham governorate to support the civilian administration due to the high influx of illegal immigrants and refugees fleeing Varshan following the [[Final War of the Deluge|Final Deluge]] . | The Arcer Army currently has several commitments, both as national missions and as part of the greater [[Cronan Security and Trade Union]] commitment for peace and security in Crona.

Arcerion also provides soldiers annually for peacekeeping operations in the former Varshan, as well as a special operations presence to aide the League of Nations in finding, detaining, and/or arresting members of the Varshani government-in-exile that perpetrated war crimes or crimes against humanity during the 2020s conflict. | Arcerion also provides soldiers annually for peacekeeping operations in the former Varshan, as well as a special operations presence to aide the League of Nations in finding, detaining, and/or arresting members of the Varshani government-in-exile that perpetrated war crimes or crimes against humanity during the 2020s conflict. | ||

The Arcer Army is centered around its brigade groups, which as per the 2022 Confederate Memo on Defence, are focused around infantry battalions with supporting ISR and fires assets, while maintaining their integral engineer and light armour support. Where the Army lacks is in heavy, direct-fire support, being a legacy colonial military, the emphasis on excellent light infantry and skirmishers, complemented by its garrison artillery and mobile cavalry reinforcements. The transition to today has seen this result in superb light infantry battalions, with an emphasis on motorisation and the ability to cover open country, such as the Governate of Northlea, quickly. The garrison and coastal artillery units have meant that the modern Regiment of Arcer Horse Artillery (RAHA) has an exceptional understanding of modern fires planning, as well as the usage of ISR for targeting. The cavalry gradually evolved into two branches within the Arcerion Armoured Corps, the Cavalry branch and the Armoured Reconnaisance Branch; the former being tanks and direct-fire support vehicles, and the latter focused on ISTAR. | The Arcer Army is centered around its brigade groups, which as per the 2022 Confederate Memo on Defence, are focused around infantry battalions with supporting ISR and fires assets, while maintaining their integral engineer and light armour support.
