Simultaneously, de Caryale saw to it that that a new emphasis was placed on automotive and armoured research, an emphasis which would eventually lead to the development and introduction of the [[SAV-5]] tank in 1930. With its new doctrinal focus on combined arms and maneuver warfare, modern artillery pieces were also required for the Royal and Imperial Army to provide effective long range fire support for advancing forces. Finally, de Caryale held several large-scale exercises that numbered several corps and finally armies at a time; at [[Northgate]] in [[1926]] with 150,000 participants and [[Afoncord]] (200,000 participants) and [[Callan]] (225,000 participants) in [[1927]]. Major amphibious exercises were also held at [[Halfway]] and [[Talionia]] in [[1928]]. Amidst doubts as to whether or not [[Urcea]] would be able to effectively mobilize reservists in case of war, the Royal and Imperal Army saw considerable expansion during the de Caryale's tenure as Deputy Lord Marshal.

Based on the succesful application of the 1st Armored Brigade in the exercises of particularly 1927 and 1928, de Caryale submitted a request for the expansion of the 1st Armored Brigade into a full division, a request granted in the Summer of 1929. A further addendum to the request was that of a further three armoured divisions to be stood up "once appropriate armoured fighting vehicles have been procured", as they would be with the introduction of the [[SAV-5]] in 1930. Having introduced and succesfully implemented the concept of combined arms and in particular the basic theories of maneuver warfare within the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]], de Caryale shifted his focus to the equipment of the ground forces. de Caryale unsuccesfully campaigned for the widespread adoption of a self-loading rifle for the infantry and the introduction of a fully automatic rifle suitable for {{wpl|Marching fire|walking fire}}. The former was rejected in favour of the continued use of the [[SR-9C]] bolt action carbine, the latter for the [[SMG-3]] general-purpose machine gun. Finally, in August of 1930, de Caryale was recalled to [[Yonderre]].
