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 Regimental Lines, named after one of the Regiment's battles against The Cape, are situated in the Northern Half of Presdale Garrison, a central base of the Arcer Armed Forces in Northlea Governorate. It includes the Regimental Headquarters, the Officer's Mess, the Sergeant & Warrant Officer's Mess, the Junior Ranks Mess, Battalion and Company buildings for each subunit, as well as supporting structures for nearby units. The lines also include the Arcer Army Airborne School's jump tower, hanging practice harnesses, as well as instructional halls. The Advanced Warfare School has a separate compound, adjoined to the Regimental Lines. Of specific note is the converted Catholic Church, St. Michael's, which has been used for both Sunday Mass (Catholic as well as other denominations), as well as housing the Regimental Museum, which houses a large number of captured enemy weapons, flags, and other trophies brought back from the Regiment's storied campaigns. | The Regimental Lines, named after one of the Regiment's battles against The Cape, are situated in the Northern Half of Presdale Garrison, a central base of the Arcer Armed Forces in Northlea Governorate.
