The Arcerion Tank Regiment is the senior armoured regiment of the Arcer Army's Armoured Corps. It consists of different squadrons and sub-units, both regular and reserve, each of which forms their own individual regiments within their individual brigades. The Regiment has the distinction as the oldest organized modern armoured regiment in mainland Crona, and shares its multitude of battle honours with other infantry and cavalry regiments from Arcerion. It forms the main armoured core of 1 Rifle Brigade, as well as 4 Mechanized and 5 Mechanized Brigades. The Regiment's main purpose is the conduct of maneuver warfare via its main battle tanks and armoured fighting vehicles, and is the only dedicated armoured regiment in the Army that is primarily focused on main battle tanks.
The Regimental motto of 'Forgo the Odds" is drawn from its participation at the Battle of Westchester, where the entirety of the Regiment fought for the first time, despite being outnumbered by Kelekonese forces, and then Commanding Officer Lieutenant-Colonel Anthony MacGuire commented the phrase when asked if he was concerned about the numerically superior forces.
The Regiment is currently undergoing a significant change and re-evaluation as part of the 2022 Confederate Memo on Defence.
