The Arcer General Staff also identified that the Royal Arcerion Naval Service's procurement programs for the acquisition of new corvettes and destroyers had been completed successfully, and recommended that there be new additional programs for a more modern anti-ship missile (AShM) program, as well as contracting additional merchant marine services to support expeditionary operations. The officer and academic programs housed under the [[Burgoignesc Security Forces]], notably the establishment of a joint base in [[Equatorial Ostiecia]], a jungle warfare school, an parachute school, and the Surface Warfare School had all benefited greatly as the Burgoignesc Navy had significant experience in blue water operations. These changes had drastically changed the makeup, doctrine, and staffing of the senior ranks within the Royal Arcerion Naval Service. Recommendations to build on the successes meant additional procurement of next-generation maritime patrol aircraft, as well as more shore-based radars and sensors to create a better integrated defense and early-warning system. | The Arcer General Staff also identified that the Royal Arcerion Naval Service's procurement programs for the acquisition of new corvettes and destroyers had been completed successfully, and recommended that there be new additional programs for a more modern anti-ship missile (AShM) program, as well as contracting additional merchant marine services to support expeditionary operations.

With all relevant stakeholders committed to the 2033 Draft, the Act was drafted in a short period of several weeks in January of 2033, outlining the need for new garrison facilities, budgetary accommodations for bases in [[Sarolasta]] and Equatorial Ostiecia, as well as new shore-based radars and naval improvements. The Prime Minister first introduced the bill during Parliament's Spring Session, where it was well received by both parties, although several members of the opposition, led by Member of Parliament John Susley (Representative for Ashden) wanted it to pass through the Parliamentary Committee for National Security as well as the Finance Committee for further scrutiny as there was concerns that the additional spending required would not be feasible due to rising costs and demands of dealing with the refugee crisis posed by Varshan's collapse. Concurrently, Susley's position was that the military had the resources it required right now, and it was fundamentally not in Arcerion's national interest to expand the Armed Forces past their current establishment. | With all relevant stakeholders committed to the 2033 Draft, the Act was drafted in a short period of several weeks in January of 2033, outlining the need for new garrison facilities, budgetary accommodations for bases in [[Sarolasta]] and Equatorial Ostiecia, as well as new shore-based radars and naval improvements.
