1 Rifle Brigade, more commonly referred to as "1 Brigade" is headquartered at Dalfearn Garrison, out of the Lightfoot Barracks, which houses the majority of the units and their associated headquarters and support staffs. 1 Brigade has recently completed two operational deployments, one to the Northwestern Border Security Zone (NWBSZ) to combat insurgent forces as a result of militant refugees fleeing Varshan, and a peacekeeping deployment to Eastern Kelekona as part of the Arco-Capetian Peacekeeping Agreement. It also serves a dual purpose as supporting the procurement and development programs run by Army Headquarters, such as trialing the Pelaxian Armoured Fighting vehicle proposal as part of Pelaxia's tender for Arcerion's next generation Armoured fighting vehicle. | 1 Rifle Brigade, more commonly referred to as "1 Brigade" is headquartered at Dalfearn Garrison, out of the Lightfoot Barracks, which houses the majority of the units and their associated headquarters and support staffs. 1 Brigade has recently completed two operational deployments, one to the Northwestern Border Security Zone (NWBSZ) to combat insurgent forces as a result of militant refugees fleeing Varshan, and a peacekeeping deployment to Eastern Kelekona as part of the Arco-Capetian Peacekeeping Agreement.

1 Rifle Brigade was formed provisionally during the South Songun Conflict, and participated in several campaigns in both Great Wars and was prominent during the Final War of the Deluge's Operation Pullman. 1 Rifle Brigade is centered around a pair of infantry regiments, The [[Royal Arcerion Regiment]] (RAR) and Kinnaird Grenadier Guards (KGG). These infantry regiments are augmented in turn by armoured reconnaissance and armoured cavalry from the Royal Arcerion Dragoons (RAD) and tank squadrons of the Arcerion Tank Regiment (ATR). It also encompasses its own service battalion (1 Service Battalion) and has added supporting elements from both the Royal Regiment of Arcerion Engineers (RRAE) and Royal Regiment of Arcerion Horse Artillery (RRAHA). It has a rough strength of 5,000 personnel when fully manned, but during peacetime garrison status the unit is usually closer to 85% manned due to postings, retention, and leave. | 1 Rifle Brigade was formed provisionally during the South Songun Conflict, and participated in several campaigns in both Great Wars and was prominent during the Final War of the Deluge's Operation Pullman. 1 Rifle Brigade is centered around a pair of infantry regiments, The [[Royal Arcerion Regiment]] (RAR) and Kinnaird Grenadier Guards (KGG).

2 Brigade, garrisoned at the Songun Barracks in Kinnaird, Arcerion is an infantry brigade of the Arcer Army. It lacks the heavier armour and mechanized forces of some of the other brigades due to its urban garrison, however it is permanently augmented by reserve armoured cavalry units from the Arcerion Loyal Horse (ALH), providing it with a light cavalry component in the case of a large-scale conflict. It is centered around two main units, the Kinnaird Grenadiers (KG) and the Western Arcerion Rifle Regiment (WARR). 2 Brigade also serves as one of the main proponents of the Army's new ISTAR initiatives as part of the 2022 Confederate Memo on Defence. 2 Briagade is the key partner for many unmanned aerial vehicle programs in the Army. 2 Brigade also shares the Kinnaird Garrison with the Arcerion Doctrine and Training Centre, and the Royal Arcerion Institute for War Studies, of which 2 Brigade supports both during their regular academic and military programs. | 2 Brigade, garrisoned at the Songun Barracks in Kinnaird, Arcerion is an infantry brigade of the Arcer Army.

4 Brigade is one of Arcerions 'heavy' or more mechanized brigades, mainly focused on peer-on-peer conflicts and mechanized warfare. It is one of the newer brigades in the Arcerion Army, despite previous incarnations of the Brigade existing in both the First and Second Great Wars as infantry brigades. 4 Brigade is centered around the Arcerion Tank Regiment and the Arcerion Light Cavalry Regiment, which are in turn supported by mechanized infantry from the Royal Arcerion Regiment and Northlea Rifle Regiment (NRR). 4 Mechanized, as one of the main units at Presdale Garrison, is chiefly responsible for the manning and support to the Arceiron Maneuver Trainign Centre, which is one of the largest military training areas in Crona, and one of the most advanced and modern live-fire brigade training areas in Ixnay. | 4 Brigade is one of Arcerions 'heavy' or more mechanized brigades, mainly focused on peer-on-peer conflicts and mechanized warfare.

4 Brigade was created in its modern context as part of Arcerion's military expansion post-2nd Great War, where the Brigade, despite a brief period of dissolution, was stood up again to take over Camp Presdale, turning it into the large, modern garrison and training area it is today. Since then, 4 Brigade went on to fight with distinction during the Final War of the Deluge, being part of the main Arcer thrust into Varshan and spearheading I Arco Corps up to Anzo for the eventual siege and follow-on actions. 4 Brigade also recently completed a peacekeeping deployment to Kelekona and Varshan, during both of which the Brigade saw limited combat. It is currently preparing for a deployment to the Northwestern Border Security Zone, and after that will assume a high-readiness role as part of the Cronan Security and Trade Union's high readiness forces. | 4 Brigade was created in its modern context as part of Arcerion's military expansion post-2nd Great War, where the Brigade, despite a brief period of dissolution, was stood up again to take over Camp Presdale, turning it into the large, modern garrison and training area it is today.

5 Mechanized brigade is a primarily armoured force located at the Dalfearn garrison. It is primarily focused around the Arcerion Tank Regiment (ATR) and Dalfearn Fusiliers (DF) who make up the majority of the maneuver and line units within the brigade. Aditionally, the Dalfearn Garrison is home to the Royal Arcerion School of Gunnery, which trains all artillerymen, officers, and NCOs, meaning that the Royal Regiment of Arcerion Horse Artillery has a vested interest in 5 Mechanized Brigade, meaning it on average has some of the best howitzer and mortar gunnery in the Army. 5 Mechanized participated recently in the Varshan conflict, seeing heavy fighting on the Southern flank of I Arcer Corps, and was instrumental in destroying the Varshani 22nd and 23rd Mechanized Corps, rendering the Varshani 4th Army combat ineffective for a period of two weeks until it had withdrawn South closer to Anzo. | 5 Mechanized brigade is a primarily armoured force located at the Dalfearn garrison.

5 Mechanized Brigade was stood up in the early 1990s to provide additional capabilities for the Arcer Army, and under the 2022 Confederate Memo on Defence was identified as one of the three Mechanized Brigades that may be refit into a Rifle Brigade, divesting its tanks and heavier fire support enabling assets for light assets such as more wheeled armoured fighting vehicles, reconnaissance vehicles, medium UCAV and ISTAR assets, and additional deep fires assets. In addition to this, it will take on an additional reserve infantry battalion, and provide them with light infantry training to assist with the Arcer government's strategic shift towards expeditionary operations since the end of the Varshan War. 5 Mechanized Brigade has also participated in training partner countries such as [[Stenza]] on tank and mechanized operations, assisting allied nations with their experienced gained conducting this kind of warfare in Varshan. | 5 Mechanized Brigade was stood up in the early 1990s to provide additional capabilities for the Arcer Army, and under the 2022 Confederate Memo on Defence was identified as one of the three Mechanized Brigades that may be refit into a Rifle Brigade, divesting its tanks and heavier fire support enabling assets for light assets such as more wheeled armoured fighting vehicles, reconnaissance vehicles, medium UCAV and ISTAR assets, and additional deep fires assets.
