The Arcerion Armoured Corps is the component of the Arcer Army, that together with other combat arms formations (infantry, engineers, artillery) provide the direct combatant capability, specializing in the use of armoured fighting vehicles and main battle tanks. It includes all of the Army's armoured regiments, as well as a majority of the armoured reconnaisance regiments, almost all of which were converted from old horse cavalry regiments. The modern Armoured Corps comprises a number of active and reserve formations reflecting the nature of a modern, professional army, and primarily works in Northlea Governorate at Presdale Garrison and the Arcerion Maneuver Training Center.
