The major trend over the period before the Corps' founding in 1812, and up to the First Great War, was a century of structuring and expansion. The introduction of new Regiments, establishment of Guards, Fusiliers, and Rifle battalions, the creation of professional military academies and schools, as well as the first non-commissioned officer training facility in Crona (Adjutant, Quartermaster, and Warrant Officer's Academy was established in 1833 in Kinnaird) helped propel the Corps towards what would be required of it in the 20th century as warfare modernized and developed. | The major trend over the period before the Corps' founding in 1812, and up to the First Great War, was a century of structuring and expansion.

The early 20th Century saw the Corps fight in two great wars in the first fifty years, as well as a significant action in [[Levantia]] as part of the campaign against rebel communist forces in Ardmore. The Corps also made significant advancements with the adaptation of established methods of instruction and employment, and worked to implement new technologies learned from partners or adversaries. Innovations such as machine guns, steel helmets, hand grenades, infantry mortars, platoon and company wireless radio sets, and modern marksman techniques all helped over the course of fifty years to mould the infantry into a modern fighting force. | The early 20th Century saw the Corps fight in two great wars in the first fifty years, as well as a significant action in [[Levantia]] as part of the campaign against rebel communist forces in Ardmore.

The First Great War saw the Regiments of the Infantry Corps engaged in the South against Paulastra, and was characterized by significant amounts of mountain and alpine warfare, as well as trench warfare and the first modern urban fighting conducted by the Arcer Army. With little previous 'siege' experience, the Army as a whole was unprepared, as it had traditionally been a more mobile, maneuver-focused force accustomed to fighting in the Arcer Heartland against Indigenous forces, however by the conclusion of the Washakaran Campaign, the Army, and especially the infantry, had made good use of working with sappers and engineers, and developed methods for the quick emplacement of guns, mortars, and trench systems to reflect the realities of their war. These lessons were not forgotten as many veterans of the First Great War went on to serve in the Ardmori Campaign to help fight communist insurrections in Levantia, and to defend the Crown Regent. Despite losing the campaign due to the collapse of the Royal Ardmori Army, the Regiments that fought there conducted successful actions on both islands as well as during their withdrawal, assisting with the evacuation of thousands of Ardmori citizens who would flee and seek refuge in Arcerion. | The First Great War saw the Regiments of the Infantry Corps engaged in the South against Paulastra, and was characterized by significant amounts of mountain and alpine warfare, as well as trench warfare and the first modern urban fighting conducted by the Arcer Army.
