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.

The Arcerion Armoured Corps is divided into battalion-sized 'Regiments' which operate both main battle tanks (armour) as well as armorued fighting vehicles in reconnaisance function (Armoured Cavalry). The Regiments themselves have a variety of names and designations, mostly historical in nature, such as Lancers and Dragoons, which are part of their individual Regimental Lineage. The Regiments also each carry their own Regimental Colours, including the Reserve Regiments. | |||
The Corps is mostly administrative in function, administering the history and heritage of the armoured branch, cataloguing its major events and significant achievements, researching its future capabilities, providing guidance to policy makers and senior officers on doctrine, and assisting with the training of new members of the Corps. | |||
