The majority of Arcerion's main battle tanks and their supporting elements are garrisoned at Presdale Garrison in central Northlea Governorate due to its proximity to live fire ranges and large areas to conduct maneuver warfare exercises and training. The remainder of the regiments are spread out across Arcerion at their individual brigade and divisional lines. | |||

Under direction from the Ministry of Defence, heavier Armorued Formations centered around main battle tanks were to be divested in favour of more agile platforms such as the continuation of the LAV-91 family and pursing of a mobile gun system. This review concluded that with the decline and fall of Varshan, and a lack of peer threats, the need for heavy, expensive, and high maintenance armoured formations was in decline. However, the Arcer General Staff noted that the requirement for more expeditionary deployments was ever increasing and the need for an air-transportable, wheeled armoured fighting vehicle had not declined, and the Army's mechanized infantry battalions had continued to be in high demand by allies. | |||
To maintain relevance, the Armoured Corps staffed its own recommendation that the existing tank fleet should be kept and maintained with life cycle upgrades to maintain serviceability into the 2040s, but shifting their internal focus away from tanks and towards Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) by enabling their armorued reconnaissance and cavalry regiments. This was reflected with the cancellation of the Next-Generation Main Battle Tank Procurement. | |||
