Where the Army lacks is in heavy, direct-fire support, being a legacy colonial military, the emphasis on excellent light infantry and skirmishers, complemented by its garrison artillery and mobile cavalry reinforcements. The transition to today has seen this result in superb light infantry battalions, with an emphasis on motorisation and the ability to cover open country, such as the Governate of Northlea, quickly. The garrison and coastal artillery units have meant that the modern Regiment of Arcer Horse Artillery (RAHA) has an exceptional understanding of modern fires planning, as well as the usage of ISR for targeting. The cavalry gradually evolved into two branches within the Arcerion Armoured Corps, the Cavalry branch and the Armoured Reconnaisance Branch; the former being tanks and direct-fire support vehicles, and the latter focused on ISTAR. | ||

The Arcer Army order of battle centers around the creation of combat teams, which themselves are a combined-arms effort of multiple Corps and Branches within the Army. The Combat Team is the main operational arm of the Arcer Army, and while not the lowest operationally-tasked unit (that being the company), it operates as a self-contained unit able to conduct offensive, defensive, and stability operations. The Combat Team is comprised of (1) infantry company with (1) platoon-sized element of supporting combat engineers, (1) forward observer vehicle from the Regiment of Arcer Horse Artillery, (1) squadron-equivalent formation of supporting armour or direct fire (ie. armoured reconnaissance or main battle tanks), as well as a rear echelon including medical staff, signalers, vehicle and maintenance technicians, and other enablers as required. | |||

The Arcerion Army has a mixture of equipment dating from legacy procurements in the late 20th century to newer procurements and additions to the arsenals of its armed forces. In general, the regular army units on higher readiness will receive newer equipment than their reserve counterparts. With recent initiatives, the Army has focused on three main facets of their vehicle fleets, their 'A' fleet, or 'Armoured,' is the actual combat and fighting vehicles that represent the maneouvre strength in both the infantry battalions and their supporting or enabling units. An example of this would be the legacy LAV-91 fleet. The Light Armoured Vehicle-1991 was the Arcer Army's effort to replace its tracked vehicle fleet with a newer and more expeditionary-friendly deployable capability. The LAV-91 serves as the cornerstone of the Arcer Army, with every infantry battalion, save for the airborne or light infantry, having them as their main combat vehicle. With a crew of three, and the capability to dismount up to eight personnel, the LAV-91 project was the most ambitious for its time as yet undertaken by the Army since the 2GW. Other vehicles in the 'A' fleet include main battle tanks, combat engineering vehicles, as well as other heavier tracked assets. Important to note, is that the LAV-91 is set to be life cycled and replaced by an entirely new motorised concept that will enhance the lethality of the Arcer Army for years to come. | |||
The 'B' fleet is comprised of vehicles that perform supporting or non-combat functions. This includes but is not limited to the entire truck fleet (6-tonne, 4-tonne, etc.), light jeeps and wheeled staff vehicles, all-terrain vehicles and off-road light vehicles, and assorted construction equipment. Within the truck fleet, this importantly includes fuel bowsers and maintenance vehicles such as wreckers or tow vehicles. Critical pieces of Arcer mobility operations, these vehicles represent the true nervous system and life support system of the Army. | |||
The Army's infantry equipment was standardized in the early 2000s, and focused on adopting a rifle system and standalone grenade launcher system to complement the existing squad and platoon weapons. The traditional Arcer love for individual marksmanship (a cultural landmark) came to a clash during the 1GW and the rise of the era of modern machineguns, and as such since the GPMG has been a staple in Arcer rifle platoons. Additionally, Arcer emphasis on infantry formations having as much decentralized enabling functions as meant there is a range of anti-armour weapons. Under the umbrella of 'AAW', the family has expanded to include the SRAAW (66mm HEAT), the MRAAW (81mm HEAT), and the NGAAW (150mm, smart anti-tank projectile). This is complemented by an integrated radio and fires sytsem provided by the Wireless and ANtenna Division of Arcerion Armaments Industries (AAI), which produces the radios and integrated systems engineering solutions for most of Arcerion's armed services. | |||
