However, the unit's Wing has negated its zero-g skills, suffered downgrading of status two of its three squadrons.
Operation Clean Sweep
After their formation, the unit undertook many civil defense actions on Alarion try to curb rebel activity on planet. One such civil action of note was Operation Clean Sweep, which was conducted August of 3062. Rioting had been ensuing in the capital city of Craiova which escalated out of control. The 1st Alarions and Alarion APM were dispatched to bring the situation under control. Three infantry personnel from the unit's infantry companies were killed and dozen injured after taking fire from the rioters. Colonel Hoffman then ordered the arrest and incarceration of three hundred civilians suspects, which triggered an outcry from the public. Though since protests against the LAAF and Archon have calmed down, Colonel was attacked by media with character assassination and the invasion of her privacy. [1]

FedCom Civil War
Under the command of Julie Hoffman, the Alarion Jaegers became part of the now-legendary 11th Arcturan Guards Battlegroup, fighting in the most significant battles in the Alliance Theater as well as on Tikonov in the Federated Suns. Their most notable battles took place on York, where their arrival tipped the fighting in the Loyalists’ favor, and on Tharkad, where they faced the Kell Hounds for several months in a successful mobile campaign before Hoffman’s death shattered the unit. The few survivors of the Jaegers have reformed around Colonel Helen Johannes and are set to be the core of a reborn Alarion Jaegers, the Archon himself having authorized the unit’s rebuilding after hearing tales of its exploits. Colonel Johannes and her troops have pledged their loyalty to the new Archon, though some members of the High Command question the credibility of that decision after the unit’s exploits in opposition to Prince Victor Steiner-Davion and Archon Peter Steiner-Davion
