The Arcerion Armoured Corps is the component of the [[Arcer Army]], that together with other combat arms formations (infantry, engineers, artillery) provide the direct combatant capability, specializing in the use of armoured fighting vehicles and main battle tanks. It includes all of the Army's armoured regiments, as well as a majority of the armoured reconnaisance regiments, almost all of which were converted from old horse cavalry regiments. The modern Armoured Corps comprises a number of active and reserve formations reflecting the nature of a modern, professional army, and primarily works in [[Northlea Governorate]] at Presdale Garrison and the [[Arcerion Maneuver Training Centre|Arcerion Maneuver Training Center]]. | The Arcerion Armoured Corps is the component of the [[Arcer Army]], that together with other combat arms formations (infantry, engineers, artillery) provide the direct combatant capability, specializing in the use of armoured fighting vehicles and main battle tanks.

Upon noting the success of other [[Occidental world|Occidental]] armies in the [[First Great War]] and their use of motorisation, considerations were made to enhance the Army's lacking capability to transport soldiers by truck. Concurrent to this, defense attaches began to report about other nations, notably [[Urcea]] and [[Caphiria]], developing and pioneering the use of "tracked fighting landships," which after further correspondence would be discovered as the first modern tanks. Due to peace treaty and burgeoning diplomatic and economic friendship between Arcerion and Paulastra, as well as the lack of a true peer threat bordering Arcerion, tanks were not often at the forefront of defense proicurement as the bordering Indigenous nations were mostly comprised of infatry. Regardless, the Arcerion Armoured Corps was stood up, with several of its Regiments being reorganized from traditional horse cavalry to armoured reconnaissance formations with armoured cars, trucks, and halftracks, and the creation of the Arcerion Tank Regiment was started. | Upon noting the success of other [[Occidental world|Occidental]] armies in the [[First Great War]] and their use of motorisation, considerations were made to enhance the Army's lacking capability to transport soldiers by truck.
