Royal Arcerion Regiment
The Royal Arcerion Regiment is the senior line infantry regiment of the Arcer Army's Royal Arcerion Infantry Corps. It consists of seven battalions, of which two are reserve, each of which forms its own individual regiment. Both Reserve Battalions have their own distinct regimental colours and honours, as they carry the lineage of two deactivated/antecedent regiments. The modern Regiment has undergone several changes and amalgamations, but has existed in its current structure since the late 1990s. It shares the joint honour of the oldest Regiment in the Arcer Army with the Royal Moorden Regiment, from their shared lineage to the Arcerion Loyal Militia, however the Royal Arcerion Regiment received its Regimental colours and status from the Ardmori Crown first.
