The 2nd Division is one of Arcerion's older infantry divisions, originally created during the First Great War with the mass volunteerism that occured during the period giving rise to the need for an additional infantry division to support the mass amount of Arcer men wishing to fight. The 2nd Infantry Division fought in both Great Wars, but is most notable for its significant role in the Carnish Civil War, during which time it had some of the few operational successes on the battlefield experienced by the Royalist forces. In modern times, the 2nd Division is headquartered at the Red Lion Barracks in Kurst, Arcerion, with its units being spread out between Easthampton and Chester-on-Moore.

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 is headquartered in the South-Eastern Arcer city of Easthampton, in the Southern Mountains of Arcerion. 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 1980s 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 Brigade also is the only Brigade to regularly deploy to the Northwestern Border Security Zone (NWBSZ), where they are regularly deploying one infantry battalion task group (IBTG) in support of domestic counter-terror operations. Thus far, all battalions from the Royal Easthampton Borderers and Royal Moorden Regiment have deployed, with 2028 being the year that the Arcerion Fusilier Regiment will take over the counter-insurgency mandate in the Northwest.
