The '''Regimental System''' provides the basic building block of the entire [[Arcer Army]]. It provides for how new regiments are formed, the maintenance of the history and heritage of existing regiments, and makes provisions for traditions and requirements for day-to-day operations within each regiment. While Arcerion still has General Army Orders (GAOs), day to day life varies widely across Regiments, from culture to routine.

While Arcerion still has General Army Orders (GAOs), day to day life varies widely across Regiments, from culture to routine. The Regimental system is a [[History of Arcerion|historical carry over]] from the Kingdom of Ardmore, which includes the system of using Regimental Colours, Mess Culture, and basic provisions for professional development of officers and NCOs. | ||

Under the regimental system, each individual regiment, regardless of type or designation, is responsible for conducting its own recruiting, training, and administration. Each regiment also permanently maintains s distinct set of core values and cultural traditions that over time and many centuries develop a unique ''esprit de corps'', because of the unique history and heritage. A soldier is assigned to a regiment after their initial Army intake, under two paths. The first is soldiers who were recruited by a specific regiment and role, and after their initial training period they are assigned to that regiment and wear its tactical recognition flashes, insignia, and most importantly, the Regimental headdress and cap badge. The second method is for soldiers who enter via a general Army intake or recruiting center, and are assigned to a regiment based on the Army's needs and their posting preferences. As most Regiments are geographically segregated (ie. [[Royal Moorden Regiment]] is only based in Southeast Arcerion in [[Moorden Governorate]]), this helps keep soldiers close to families and their support network. | Under the regimental system, each individual regiment, regardless of type or designation, is responsible for conducting its own recruiting, training, and administration.

Due to this unique structure. Arcer soldiers are more likely to identify as members of their regiments vice their Brigade or Division due to the unique sense of identity they learn and are indoctrinated into upon joining a regiment. Under the Regimental System, Arcer soldiers may spend the entirety of their careers within the same Regiment, switching between different subordinate units and postings within the Regiment's geographic area. | Due to this unique structure.

The historical association with the | The historical association with the Ardmori Crown has meant that some older regiments still bear the designation 'Royal,' despite there being no established Ardmori Monarchy. Newer regiments are unable to receive the honorific, for example the Presdale Rifle Regiment was an amalgamation of the Presdale Regiment and the Heartland Rifle Regiment, and upon merging in 1966 became a non-Royal Regiment. Concurrent to this, battle honours that used to be issued by recommendation of the Confederate Parliament to the Ardmori Crown and then given by Royal Decree are no longer possible. As such, the Confederate Parliament sits a special Honours and Heritage committee bi-annually to bestow new titles to esteemed or especially distinguished conduct from Arcer Army formations. | ||
This sense of identity and ''esprit de corps'' partially is a colonial heritage function, as Regiments were often dislocated or spread out and these functions served as means for morale and welfare for the men and a means to maintain discipline and good order while on the Arcer Frontier. | This sense of identity and ''esprit de corps'' partially is a colonial heritage function, as Regiments were often dislocated or spread out and these functions served as means for morale and welfare for the men and a means to maintain discipline and good order while on the Arcer Frontier. | ||
