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. | The headquarters for the Training Centre is comprised of a Headquarters Company and a supporting Logistics and Signals Detachment.

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 is the primary educational and academic force at AMTC.

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. | 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. | ||
The main Opposing Force (OPFOR) unit is staffed by 4th Mechanized Brigades' Northlea Rifle Regiment (2nd Battalion, 2NRR). It is unique in the way that it is the only line unit within the Arcer Army permanently assigned to AMTC, and serves as the enemy combatants across a wide variety of exercises and scenarios. | The main Opposing Force (OPFOR) unit is staffed by 4th Mechanized Brigades' Northlea Rifle Regiment (2nd Battalion, 2NRR).

The Doctrinal Staff and the Maneuver Academy are a smaller academic function within AMTC. They study, research, and publish articles and journals for scholarly readers on modern warfare and its applications. It is comprised of officers either undergoing their time in a staff role, senior officers on special assignment based on their command and staff experience, or civilians scholars and researchers. It is the smallest unit within the Training Centre, comprising roughly sixty staff and based out of the Ellis Library within Presdale Garrison. | The Doctrinal Staff and the Maneuver Academy are a smaller academic function within AMTC.

EX CRONAN SHIELD is the annual verification exercise for Arcerion's high-readiness brigade. ITs purpose is to simulate a variety of scenarios from domestic response to civil unrest, an invasion onto Arcer Sovereign territory, as well as combatting insurgency or other militant actions against the state. Taking place bi-annually, it is the culmination of a Brigade's year-long work up and after a successful verification by AMTC, Army Headquarters will usually assign the brigade to an operational deployment. | EX CRONAN SHIELD is the annual verification exercise for Arcerion's high-readiness brigade.

The main offensive or expeditionary-focused exercise is held once annually and is comprised of both live-fire training and collective combined arms maneuver warfare. It is modelled off of Operation Pullman and fighting a near-peer adversary either in Arcerion or abroad in other areas of Crona. The main effort is to exercise mission command principles such as NCO initiative, decentralized leadership, and robust logistical support to a brigade fighting an enemy with similar capabilities. It is considered one of the most difficult exercises, as the OPFOR train and conduct this exercise regularly and know the terrain, so attacking brigades are fighting an educated, well-trained, and experienced defender. The results have been seen internationally, as 2/3rds of Arcerion's component forces for the Final War of the Deluge had participated in MOORLAND WARRIOR at least once. | The main offensive or expeditionary-focused exercise is held once annually and is comprised of both live-fire training and collective combined arms maneuver warfare.

It is the largest force-on-force exercise in Crona, and one of the largest in Ixnay, using a laser-tag style system for tracking casualties and effectiveness of units fighting in the training area. | ||
=== EX METAL CROWN === | |||
METAL CROWN is the largest live-fire training exercise in Crona. Its purpose is to increase the gunnery, communication, and company/squadron-level fires capability of Arcerion Army subunits. It is aimed at the NCOs and Enlisted members of the military in becoming proficient at the application of direct and indirect fires. Run monthly in a serial (ie. EX METAL CROWN 2601, 2602, etc.) The staff put companies and squadrons of crewmen and their dismounts through harsh, demanding, and realistic live-fire training scenarios. This includes inoculation to the danger-close use of artillery fire, to increase the awareness of non-artillerymen to the process of call-for-fire and artillery crews to ensure they understand the application of long-range precision fires. | |||
