Structure of the Arcer Army: Difference between revisions

7 Rifle is headquartered in the South-Eastern Arcer city of Easthampton, in the Southern Mountains of Arcerion. The Brigade is heavily invested into light infantry operations, including mountaineering, air assault, pathfinding, long-range reconnaissance, and a limited maritime mission training. The Brigade itself was historically part of 1 Rifle Brigade, however was detached and became its own independent formation in the 1980s with an increased emphasis on light infantry operations due to the ongoing border clashes with Washakara and Telokona requiring a more high-readiness conventional force to be prepared to respond quickly to border clashes or be deployed abroad. The Easthampton Garrison also regularly hosts the Arcerion Patrolling Competition, wherein international teams compete in a series of soldiers skills, hosted and ran by 7 Brigade, to increase training and cooperation.  

7 Rifle participated in the Varshan conflict, serving as one of the main units during the Battle of Anzo, where it suffered light casualties during the fighting in built-up suburbs of the city. However, the unit's light posture allowed it to retain the flexibility to close with and engage regular and irregular Varshani troops. During the Battle for the al-Mayaar Hospital, 7 Brigade distinguished itself by avoiding unnecessary collateral damage to civilian infrastructure while still fixing the elements of the Varshani 41st Infantry Corps in place where they were destroyed by the combined efforts of 5v and 6 Mechanized Brigades.  

7 Brigade also is the only Brigade to regularly deploy to the Northwestern Border Security Zone (NWBSZ), where they are regularly deploying one infantry battalion task group (IBTG) in support of domestic counter-terror operations. Thus far, all battalions from the Royal Easthampton Borderers and Royal Moorden Regiment have deployed, with 2028 being the year that the Arcerion Fusilier Regiment will take over the counter-insurgency mandate in the Northwest.
