The '''Tamar Jagers''' were formed by the [[Duke of Tamar]] at the start of the [[Third Succession War]] to protect the worlds of the [[Tamar Pact]] from the [[Draconis Combine]].

==History==
 
The Jagers were involved in an invasion of the planet [[Memmingen]] at some point in the [[BattleTech eras|Succession Wars]] era. They took great losses in that invasion because the [[Draconis Combine]] had discovered the invasion plan, and had three regiments waiting.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3026, Revised Edition'', p. 34</ref>

====Reformation====
 
At the dawn of [[IlClan Era]], after former personnel from the Lyran Commonwealth annexed themselves from their former nation, the Tamar Jagers would be reborn within the newly reformed Tamar Pact, dividing the [[26th Arcturan Guards]] into three combat teams. The First, Second and Third Battalion of the Guards became, respectively, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Tamar Jaegers.<ref>''Mercenary's Honor'' </ref>

There are two major inconsistencies in the history and formation of the Jagers :
 
* Duke Selvin Kelswa III was leader of the Tamar Pact at the '''end''' of the Third Succession War. The beginning of that war was over 100 years prior to the Duke's birth.
 
* Duke Selvin Kelswa III was leader of the Tamar Pact at the '''end''' of the Third Succession War. The beginning of that war was over 100 years prior to the Duke's birth.
* The Jagers appear only in three early publications: ''[[Camo Specs]]'', the ''[[Succession Wars (Board Game)]]'' and ''[[Technical Readout: 3026]]'', though the [[Pegasus (Combat Vehicle - Hovertank)|Pegasus]] entry mentioning them in the latter book was later reproduced verbatim in ''[[Technical Readout: 3026, revised]]''. They are not mentioned in any other publication, including the ''[[House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)]]'' sourcebook, which was actually released before ''Camo Specs''.<br />A possible explanation for these discrepancies would be that the Jagers' regiments were mixed/combined arms formations, and that they were therefore not usually counted among the [[BattleMech]] formations.

A plausible explanation for these discrepancies would be that the Jagers' regiments were mixed, and primarily [[conventional]] in nature, with some [[BattleMech]] support. While inconsistent with the presentation of other units from the two products they appeared in, this would explain their disappearance from the BattleMech deployment tables of the LCAF.
