The Training Centre was established at the end of the First Great War, to create more cohesive and effective mechanized and armoured formations as a result of the industrialization and motorization of modern Occidental militaries in the antebellum period post-1GW. Its initial core staff was a mixture of armoured NCOs, infantrymen creating the nascent motorization efforts, and senior officers and scholars on modern warfare.

Its initial core staff was a mixture of armoured NCOs, infantrymen creating the nascent motorization efforts, and senior officers and scholars on modern warfare.
Over successive decades the training centre changed and grew, with large ranges and staff assisting with the creation of more hard structures and garrison buildings in Presdale. This benefitted Arcerion with the successful implementation of Arcerion's modern army during the Second Great War. After the Second Great War, budgetary cuts affected the Training Centre, and an emphasis on light infantry and smaller, low-intensity conflicts such as the [[Fourth Bush War]] created a perceived lessened need for large-scale armorued formation training. As such, during the Fourth Bush War the Cronan Patrol Competition was created, to foster esprit de corps and create an emphasis on excellent light infantry and skirmishing tactics, with the staff from the Royal Easthampton Borderers providing the Subject Matter Expertise (SME) on the issue.

The headquarters for the Training Centre is comprised of a Headquarters Company and a supporting Logistics and Signals Detachment. It provides command, control, logistics, and communications functions for the formation, including personnel management as well as intake and outflow of candidates. The HQ is also responsible for liaising with similar organizations in Ixnay, and working with both Army Headquarters as well as foreign Defense Attaches for the training of foreign militaries or foreign governments that wish to submit their brigades to the rigorous standards and modern education provided by AMTC.

=== Staff and Training Group ===
The Staff and Training Group is the primary educational and academic force at AMTC. They provide Observers, Controllers, and Trainers (OCTs) which are full-time officers and NCOs that staff exercises, acting as both mentors, educators, and referees on exercises. Generally, these are some of the most experienced commanders in the Arco military, and while not handpicked preference is given to the Training Centre during posting seasons as this allows the force generation of quality officers and NCOs for future deployments. The bulk of staff are made up of infantry, engineer, armour, and artillery officers, however there is liaisons from other branches such as Logistics, Special Operations, Signals, and the Military Police to advise on specialist activities such as road traffic management, march discipline, electronic warfare, or the forward resupply of combat formations.
The Staff and Training Group also house the Air Coordination Cell, which works with the [[Arcer Air Force|Arcerion Air Force]] to provide aerial fires and tactical airlift from airframes as small as UAVs up to and including larger prop-driven cargo aircraft.
