The Lucis Commonwealth Armies in Erebonia (LCAE) or Armeen des Lucis Commonwealth in Erebonia is a military formation formed by the Erebonian Empire, the United Kingdom and its Commonwealth realms. Formed during the Second Europan War as part of the Erebonian Defence Treaty of 1935, when it allowed foreign armies to merge with its regular army since the Erebonian Army did not have military numbers compared to its neighbors. The treaty was revised in 1939, when the UK and its Commonwealth realms supplemented the Erebonian Army with manpower and the formation has ever since became a Commonwealth-Erebonian formation.
Since 1939, it has been stationed in Western Erebonia (specifically the Lamarre Province) as reference to the former Lucian Colony of Western Erebonia and in the Thors Military Base at Trista. It is also the only army group from the Second Europan War to continuously see active service into the 21st Century.
