The 1st Division is the oldest in Arcerion, and was founded in 1852 as an administrative headquarters to manage the numerous Arcerion militia and regular units in the Carnish colony of the time. Since then, it has participated in every major campaign from the South Songun Conflict to the Final War of the Deluge. Headquartered at Dalfearn Garrison, on the Marloch River, it has the majority of Arcerion's regular brigades, including the bulk of its mechanized and armoured forces. | The 1st Division is the oldest in Arcerion, and was founded in 1852 as an administrative headquarters to manage the numerous Arcerion militia and regular units in the Carnish colony of the time.

1 Rifle Brigade was formed provisionally during the South Songun Conflict, and participated in several campaigns in both Great Wars and was prominent during the Final War of the Deluge's Operation Pullman. 1 Rifle Brigade is centered around a pair of infantry regiments, The [[Royal Arcerion Regiment]] (RAR) and Kinnaird Grenadier Guards (KGG). These infantry regiments are augmented in turn by armoured reconnaissance and armoured cavalry from the Royal Arcerion Dragoons (RAD) and tank squadrons of the [[Arcerion Tank Regiment]] (ATR). It also encompasses its own service battalion (1 Service Battalion) and has added supporting elements from both the Royal Regiment of Arcerion Engineers (RRAE) and Royal Regiment of Arcerion Horse Artillery (RRAHA). It has a rough strength of 5,000 personnel when fully manned, but during peacetime garrison status the unit is usually closer to 85% manned due to postings, retention, and leave. | 1 Rifle Brigade was formed provisionally during the South Songun Conflict, and participated in several campaigns in both Great Wars and was prominent during the Final War of the Deluge's Operation Pullman. 1 Rifle Brigade is centered around a pair of infantry regiments, The [[Royal Arcerion Regiment]] (RAR) and Kinnaird Grenadier Guards (KGG).

2 Brigade, garrisoned at the Songun Barracks in Kinnaird, Arcerion is an infantry brigade of the Arcer Army. It lacks the heavier armour and mechanized forces of some of the other brigades due to its urban garrison, however it is permanently augmented by reserve armoured cavalry units from the Arcerion Loyal Horse (ALH), providing it with a light cavalry component in the case of a large-scale conflict. It is centered around two main units, the Kinnaird Grenadiers (KG) and the Western Arcerion Rifle Regiment (WARR). 2 Brigade also serves as one of the main proponents of the Army's new ISTAR initiatives as part of the 2022 Confederate Memo on Defence. 2 Briagade is the key partner for many unmanned aerial vehicle programs in the Army. 2 Brigade also shares the Kinnaird Garrison with the Arcerion Doctrine and Training Centre, and the Royal Arcerion Institute for War Studies, of which 2 Brigade supports both during their regular academic and military programs. | 2 Brigade, garrisoned at the Songun Barracks in Kinnaird, Arcerion is an infantry brigade of the Arcer Army.

7 Rifle Brigade is Arcerion's premier light infantry formation. It consists of mostly light and motorised infantry formations, although the Arcer Army makes few distinctions between motorised and mechanized troops, as they both doctrinally use LAVs, only in their employment are they different. Based centrally around the Royal Easthampton Borderers (REB), Arcerion Fusilier Regiment (AFR), and the [[Royal Moorden Regiment]] (RMR). Mechanized forces in the brigade are supplemented with lighter reconnaissance and anti-tank missile formations from the Kurst Lancer Regiment (KLR). | 7 Rifle Brigade is Arcerion's premier light infantry formation.

The Brigade is heavily invested into light infantry operations, including mountaineering, air assault, pathfinding, long-range reconnaissance, and a limited maritime mission training. The Brigade itself was historically part of 1 Rifle Brigade, however was detached and became its own independent formation in the 1960s with an increased emphasis on light infantry operations due to the ongoing border clashes with Washakara and Telokona requiring a more high-readiness conventional force to be prepared to respond quickly to border clashes or be deployed abroad. The Easthampton Garrison also regularly hosts the Arcerion Patrolling Competition, wherein international teams compete in a series of soldiers skills, hosted and ran by 7 Brigade, to increase training and cooperation. | ||
7 Rifle participated in the Varshan conflict, serving as one of the main units during the Battle of Anzo, where it suffered light casualties during the fighting in built-up suburbs of the city. However, the unit's light posture allowed it to retain the flexibility to close with and engage regular and irregular Varshani troops. During the Battle for the al-Mayaar Hospital, 7 Brigade distinguished itself by avoiding unnecessary collateral damage to civilian infrastructure while still fixing the elements of the Varshani 41st Infantry Corps in place where they were destroyed by the combined efforts of 5v and 6 Mechanized Brigades. | 7 Rifle participated in the Varshan conflict, serving as one of the main units during the Battle of Anzo, where it suffered light casualties during the fighting in built-up suburbs of the city.

9 Rifle participated in the Final War of the Deluge, where it wa sone of the primary combat formations for Arcerion during the Battle of Anzo. 9 Rifle was the formation that seized Anzo International Airport, with 1st Battalion, Norham Foot Grenadiers being engaged in the heavy fighting around the International Terminal against regular and irregular Varshani forces. 9 Rifle at this time had only been fully operational for just over a decade, and still had a significant amount of reservists within its ranks, and despite assessments that it may not be suitable for high-intensity fighting in built up areas (FIBUA), it conducted itself well, particularly with the subterranean fighting in subway tunnels and the other tunnel systems dug by Varshani insurgents. 9 Brigade participated in the mopping up operations South-East of Anzo in the farm country there, and was a key component to the destruction of the Varshani 4th Army. | 9 Rifle participated in the Final War of the Deluge, where it wa sone of the primary combat formations for Arcerion during the Battle of Anzo. 9 Rifle was the formation that seized Anzo International Airport, with 1st Battalion, Norham Foot Grenadiers being engaged in the heavy fighting around the International Terminal against regular and irregular Varshani forces. 9 Rifle at this time had only been fully operational for just over a decade, and still had a significant amount of reservists within its ranks, and despite assessments that it may not be suitable for high-intensity fighting in built up areas (FIBUA), it conducted itself well, particularly with the subterranean fighting in subway tunnels and the other tunnel systems dug by Varshani insurgents. 9 Brigade participated in the mopping up operations South-East of Anzo in the farm country there, and was a key component to the destruction of the Varshani 4th Army. | ||
