The Armed Contract Expedenatary Group (Yekteniyan: Vooruzhennyy Kontraktnyy Ekspeditsionnyy Gruppa) is a Yekteniyan Private Military Company (PMC) headquartered in Digora, and led by former Spetsvoypodra Udarmolnii Lieutenant Baranov Cheszlav. Mostly comprised of former Yekteniyan Army troops, the A.C.E Group occasionally works alongside the Yekteniyan Military, in training and deployments. The A.C.E Group was established in 2004 by former General of the Tsarist Army, Strekalov Sergei, which was founded to aid in the living conditions for veterans of the Yekteniyan Civil War and provide work opportunities, although much of the company's early activity was tasked with pacifying uprisings and aid with the Spetsantiterroistpodra Udarmolnii in combatting terrorist attacks. This would extend into the Ryzhov Period, where it'd also aid police officers during the Novyy Gorod Drug War. In 2015, two years after the takeover of Yekteniya by Joesph Pavlov, Strekalov Sergei resigned from the A.C.E Group and gave control of the company to Baranov Cheszlav, who would lead the A.C.E Group to this day and expanded its services internationally for foreign conflicts and foreign security. With around 25,000 operatives, much of the A.C.E Group comprises of former Yekteniyan Army soldiers, former Udarmolnii units, or very rarely, former police officers. This is mostly due to the strict recruitment, as only people with former experience with combat, the military, or security are allowed to be an operative of the A.C.E Group. The A.C.E Group offers its services to most nations for defense, warfare, mercenary work, or private security. Despite existing public information about the group's existence, the operations and inner workings of A.C.E Group are under heavy secrecy.

There is evidence to suggest the groups' involvement in the Invasion of Rafhazan, and the Anmativedan Civil War, although Baranov Cheszlav denies this fervently.
