The Royal Easthampton Borderers is a light infantry regiment of the Arcer Army's Royal Arcerion Infantry Corps. It consists of a number of battalions and garrison units, split amongst both the Regular Force and Reserve/Territorial troops. Each of the Regiment's battalions form part of 7 Rifle Brigade, which is Arcerion's premier light infantry brigade. The Borderers focus on tasks such as mountaineering, air assault, pathfinding, long-range reconnaissance, individual marksmanship, and long-distance patrolling. The Regiment was created in 1890 after an amalgamation of the Easthampton Regiment and the Arcerion Easthampton Borderers, and has remained in its current configuration since it amalgamated the Arcerion highland Infantry Regiment which disbanded and re-badged to the Borderers in 1919. The Borderers are widely considered in Arcerion to be the premier light infantry Regiment in the Army, and are respected in Crona and Ixnay as world-class experts in alpine warfare and dismounted infantry operations.
The Regiment is headquartered at the Larton Barracks, Arcerion Armed Forces Base Easthampton.
History
The Regiment was stood up in 1890, when the Arcer General Staff released orders to collapse the two existing regiments in the eastern part of Moorden Governorate into a singular formation. The existing Eashampton Regiment, initially formed in 1840, as well as the Arcerion Easthampton Borderers which had been stood up in 1867 were collapsed and given the honorific 'Royal,' owing to their exemplary service policing the border areas in Washakara.
The Regiment participated in the Third Bush War, helping to secure frontier settlements and battle native incursions into the Arcer Heartland.
The Regiment saw major action in the Defense of Easthampton during the First Great War, where it defended the city of Easthampton from Paulastran troops, and was engaged heavily in trench warfare and modern methods of fighting, including the use of modern machineguns, infantry mortars, and early wireless radio sets.
