Structure of the Arcer Army: Difference between revisions

1 Rifle Brigade was formed provisionally during the South Songun Conflict, and participated in several campaigns in both Great Wars and was prominent during the Final War of the Deluge's Operation Pullman. 1 Rifle Brigade is centered around a pair of infantry regiments, The Royal Arcerion Regiment (RAR) and Kinnaird Grenadier Guards (KGG). These infantry regiments are augmented in turn by armoured reconnaissance and armoured cavalry from the Royal Arcerion Dragoons (RAD) and tank squadrons of the Arcerion Tank Regiment (ATR). It also encompasses its own service battalion (1 Service Battalion) and has added supporting elements from both the Royal Regiment of Arcerion Engineers (RRAE) and Royal Regiment of Arcerion Horse Artillery (RRAHA). It has a rough strength of 5,000 personnel when fully manned, but during peacetime garrison status the unit is usually closer to 85% manned due to postings, retention, and leave.

2 Brigade, garrisoned at the Songun Barracks in Kinnaird, Arcerion is an infantry brigade of the Arcer Army. It lacks the heavier armour and mechanized forces of some of the other brigades due to its urban garrison, however it is permanently augmented by reserve armoured cavalry units from the Arcerion Loyal Horse (ALH), providing it with a light cavalry component in the case of a large-scale conflict. It is centered around two main units, the Kinnaird Grenadiers (KG) and the Western Arcerion Rifle Regiment (WARR). 2 Brigade also serves as one of the main proponents of the Army's new ISTAR initiatives as part of the 2022 Confederate Memo on Defence. 2 Briagade is the key partner for many unmanned aerial vehicle programs in the Army. 2 Brigade also shares the Kinnaird Garrison with the Arcerion Doctrine and Training Centre, and the Royal Arcerion Institute for War Studies, of which 2 Brigade supports both during their regular academic and military programs.  

2 Brigade was created at the start of the Southern Songun Conflict, and saw action in not only the Overland Campaign, but also the short-lived landing in Easter Songun. During the Overland Campaign, its gunners became majorly involved in the Siege of XYZ, which links to its historical heritage with modern representation through a cannon as the brigade emblem. In this, it was the first regular army brigade to be commanded by an artillery officer, which occurred with Colonel Eric Fulsom shortly after the Second Great War. 2 Brigade fought as part of Operation Pullman during the Second Great War, and also distinguished itself as part of the defense of XYZ, during the Carnish Civil War, where the Brigade and specifically the Kurst Foot Grenadiers were part of the fighting withdrawal of the Carnish Army, with 2 Brigade preventing the Marxist forces from outflanking the Corp's supply lines. This action itself resulted in one of the final Royal battle honours being bestowed, with the Kinnaird Grenadiers being bestowed the "Defense of Carna" battle honour, which is still on the Regimental Colours.
