The [[Special Forces Support Group]] is a unit of the Arcer Army, and the newest addition to the Arcerion Special Operations Command. It provides an enhanced infantry battalion and key enablers to the other two special forces units in ASOC. While technically multi-service, it predominantly draws its personnel from the Army. It provides logistical, command and control, signals, airlift, and special operations-capable infantry to ASOC in support of deployed operations. | The [[Special Forces Support Group]] is a unit of the Arcer Army, and the newest addition to the Arcerion Special Operations Command.

Under the auspices of Operation Archibald, members of the [[Arcerion Special Operations Command]] undertook a variety of special forces missions ahead of conventional Arcer units engaged in [[Operation Pullman]]. These included long range patrols and long-distance reconnaissance in lightly armoured wheeled vehicles through the Varshani outback. Usually, the infantry companies from 1 Arco Para at the time provided screening, flanking, and cordon forces for the members of the SASR and Marine Commandos involved in direct action missions. | Under the auspices of Operation Archibald, members of the [[Arcerion Special Operations Command]] undertook a variety of special forces missions ahead of conventional Arcer units engaged in [[Operation Pullman]].

There it has provided support to the Task Force deployed conducting raids, reconnaissance, and support to civil authority missions in the region. During this time, the SFSG was involved in numerous missions against compounds or villages associated with [[Varshan|Varshani]]-aligned insurgent groups attempting to infiltrate through the Telekonese and Kelekonan borders with Arcerion. The Arcer government confirmed that on at least two occasions Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs) from the SFSG conducted air strikes on insurgent groups Northwest of the Innis River Basin. | The second major operation in the SFSG's history is as part of ongoing counter-terror and counter-insurgency operations near Oakham in the [[Northwestern Border Security Zone]] (NWBSZ).
