The Arcer Army Airborne School, commonly referred to as Jump School, is the only military parachute facility remaining in the Arcer military. It is staffed with a cadre of officers and NCOs from the Parachute Regiment, and regularly runs both Basic Parachute Courses (BPC) as well as Advanced Parachute Courses (APCs). It is the core of the Parachute Regiment's ability to generate new paratroopers, and has been in continuous operation since 1919. Every year it qualifies several hundred new members of the Arcer Armed Forces to perform static-line, freefall, and jumpmaster duties. It is housed at the Smythe Lines, named after LCpl John Smythe, killed in Kelekona while peacekeeping. The AAAS also regularly hosts paratroopers and instructor staff from XX and YY, as part of the ongoing Arcer commitment to military excellence and international partnerships through armed forces collaboration. | The Arcer Army Airborne School, commonly referred to as Jump School, is the only military parachute facility remaining in the Arcer military.

The school follows three phases, Instruction Week, Tower/Hangar Week, and Jump Week. After three weeks, soldiers are qualified as basic army parachutists, and those wishing to pursue employment as members of the Parachute Regiment may undergo the Airborne Infantry Course (16 weeks), to qualify as members of the Regiment. The Airborne School is also responsible for running the Airborne Infantry Course, which instructs soldiers on advanced fieldcraft, marksmanship, gunnery, small party leadership, explosives, and advanced airmobile techniques such as sling-loading helicopters and helocasting. | The school follows three phases, Instruction Week, Tower/Hangar Week, and Jump Week.

The Royal Arcer Advanced Warfare School is the primary method from which advanced infantry and soldiering techniques are taught to members of the Arcer Armed Forces. This includes courses for Senior Non-Commissioned Officers (usually Sergeants or Warrant Officers) such as Jumpmaster Courses, Pathfinder Courses, as well as Air Assault and helicopter lift courses. The RAAWS also works with Arcer Air Force institutions to ensure its Jumpmasters work with Air Force loadmasters to understand how to properly deploy an infantry company from a military cargo aircraft. | |||
