=== Organization and Doctrine ===

The Arcer Army is centered around its brigade groups, which as per the 2022 Confederate Memo on Defence, are focused around infantry battalions with supporting ISR and fires assets, while maintaining their integral engineer and light armour support. Where the Army lacks is in heavy, direct-fire support, being a legacy colonial military, the emphasis on excellent light infantry and skirmishers, complemented by its garrison artillery and mobile cavalry reinforcements. The transition to today has seen this result in superb light infantry battalions, with an emphasis on motorisation and the ability to cover open country, such as the Governate of Northlea, quickly. The garrison and coastal artillery units have meant that the modern Regiment of Arcer Horse Artillery (RAHA) has an exceptional understanding of modern fires planning, as well as the usage of ISR for targeting. The cavalry gradually evolved into two branches within the Arcerion Armoured Corps, the Cavalry branch and the Armoured Reconnaisance Branch; the former being tanks and direct-fire support vehicles, and the latter focused on ISTAR.

The Army has several types of Brigades, all centered around some form of infantry or combat arms unit.  

The Arcer Army order of battle centers around the creation of combat teams, which themselves are a combined-arms effort of multiple Corps and Branches within the Army. The Combat Team is the main operational arm of the Arcer Army, and while not the lowest operationally-tasked unit (that being the company), it operates as a self-contained unit able to conduct offensive, defensive, and stability operations. The Combat Team is comprised of (1) infantry company with (1) platoon-sized element of supporting combat engineers, (1) forward observer vehicle from the Regiment of Arcer Horse Artillery, (1) squadron-equivalent formation of supporting armour or direct fire (ie. armoured reconnaissance or main battle tanks), as well as a rear echelon including medical staff, signalers, vehicle and maintenance technicians, and other enablers as required.

Additionally, the 2IC has a signals, medical, and logistics detachment for forward support.]]

The convention for the Combat Team is that it is organized and commanded by a Major (OF-3), or a senior Captain (OF-2) in extremis with either operational experience or with the necessary qualifications. The 2IC, or 2nd in Command is a Captain. Individual formations and sub-units within a Combat Team are usually Lieutenants (OF-1). NCOs are present without, with several Warrant Officers (OR-8) and Colour/Staff Sergeants (OR-7), present to provide subject matter expert advice as well as guidance.
