Within the Army, it also can create animosity or unhealthy regimental rivalries or negative associations. As an example, there has existed a long rivalry between the Royal Moorden Regiment and Royal Arcerion Regiment, as both claim to be the oldest infantry Regiment in Arcerion, with their respective regimental associations even going as far as attempting to influence the National Archives of Arcerion to issue a ruling on the subject. With regards to strong regimental identity, senior Army officials and planners have long worried that some soldiers identify more with their regiment and its values than the Army writ large, fearing that the creation of divergent military sub cultures is detrimental to the good order and discpline of the Arcer military.

The decentralization of the Army as previously discussed worked particularly well during the expansion of Arcerion into Crona, as disparate regiments had ethos, culture, and tradition to serve as a backbone in the stead of a stable garrison life with a family. As well, the centralization of the Army's regiments provides a strong buffer for the civilian government and stability, preventing a coup d'état due to the disparate planning and independence of each formation. Since Arcerion's formation, the Army has never been involved in any attempts to unseat or overturn their civilian government.

During the [[First Great War]], the grouping and localized recruiting meant that when Regiments took significant casualties, it was felt more deeply in specific communities as the fighting men that died were all concentrated in this area. This is notable from the Easthampton Regiment, where an entire battalion was lost, and the community was devastated due to the loss of several hundred fathers, sons and family members.

The opposite argument to this is the involvement Regiments have in their communities, with parades, local engagements, youth programs, and regimental fundraisers and charity events making them keystone parts of the communities they are garrisoned in.
