Overview The Arcerion Parachute Regiment (APR), commonly known as the Paras, is a Regular Force airborne infantry regiment of the Arcer Army, headquartered at the Novasar Barracks, located at the Presdale Garrison in the Arcer Heartland, Northern Northlea Governorate. Its current commanding officer is Lieutenant-Colonel Timothy MacAile, and the Regimental Sergeant-Major is WO1 Paul Truss. The Arcerion Parachute Regiment is part of the Arcer Army's 11 Parachute Brigade.
The Parachute Regiment was formed in the Interwar Period with the identified need to stand up a parachute capability for the Army, following a White Paper by the Arcer General Staff on the future of elite infantry formations. At its largest, it had a dozen battalions during the Second Great War, and formed the core of the 1st Airborne Division. The Regiment has taken part in every major Arcer conflict since its inception, from its key role in Operation Lightfoot, to the Final War of the Deluge against Varshan.
The regiment took on its current configuration and organization after the conclusion of the Second Great War as defense reforms slashed budgets and downsizing of the Armed Forces became a national priority. The Regiment has consistently proved to be a key asset to the Arcer Armed Forces, where it is often deployed for counter-insurgency, policing, stability, and humanitarian missions due to its highly mobile nature and maintaining a high level of readiness. As per the 2022 Confederate Memo on Defence the Parachute Regiment was slated to receive the funding and manning to raise an extra two battalions by 2028, and a further third new battalion (6 PARA) by 2030.
