The Royal Arcerion Infantry Corps is the component branch of the Arcer Army that is responsible for the training, doctrinal development, and organization of infantry units within the Armed Forces. It includes all of Arcerion's infantry regiments regardless of status, be it Regular or Reserve, some of which that have historical lineages that are over two centuries old. The modern Infantry Corps has a large number of infantry regiments, individual battalions, as well as training sites and facilities that make it one of the largest non-formation organizations within the Arcer Army. It is the backbone of the Infantry's history, heritage, and tradition and is based in Kinnaird at the Rosmore Barracks, named for the Ardmori City for where the Corps fought significant actions during the Ardmori Civil War.

The Corps was bestowed with the title "Royal" upon its creation in 1812 as recognition by the King of Ardmore for its service during the First Bush War.

History

Colonial History

The infantry in Arcerion's earliest origins are those of militias and town watches, also known locally as 'Minutemen,' for their readiness to react quickly to a native incursion or threat to colonial domiciles. These loosely organized bands of citizen-soldiers fought during the First Bush War in support of Ardmori regular troops, as well as after their organization into militia companies under Crown-Governor John Hughes, who ratified them as the Arcerion Loyal Militia, whose modern colours, heritage, and battle honours are carried on by the Royal Moorden Regiment.

Throughout the colonial period (until the First Great War), Arcerion's infantry would be dual in purpose, both as part-time militia troops as well as new Arco citizens and naturalized Ardmori settlers into regular infantry battalions.
