Unit Description

The 1st Alarion Jaegers was a House Steiner house unit formed during mid 31st Century under reign of Archon-Princess Katrina Steiner-Davion. The unit was created to protected the Alarion province of the Lyran Alliance after that province was organized. The unit is unusual due to its Combine Arms configuration in comparison to other Regiments in the LAAF at its formation.[citation needed]

History

Formation

Personnel for the 1st Alarion were draen from various units of the Lyran military as part of Archon's Order 573023. With permission of LAAF high command, the 1st Alarion's Colonel Hoffman worked closely with his fellow officers to build a solid working relationship with the Alarion Naval Academy and the War College of Buena. From these relationships the unit was able to select many of the top students from these schools and place them in positions within the Regiment. However, the unit's AeeroSpace Wing has lost many of its zero-g skills and which has downgraded the ready status of two of its three squadrons.[citation needed]

Operation Clean Sweep

After formation the Jsrgers undertook many civil defense actions on Alarion in an attempt to curb rebel activity on the planet. One such civil action of note was Operation Clean Sweep, which was conducted August of 3062.

Rioting in the capital city of Craiova had escalated out of control and the 1st Alarions and Alarion APM were dispatched to bring the situation under control. Three personnel from the unit's infantry companies were killed and dozen injured after taking fire from the rioters. Colonel Hoffman ordered the arrest and incarceration of three hundred civilians suspects, which triggered an outcry from the public. Though protests against the LAAF and Archon have since calmed down, Colonel Hoffman has been attacked by local media by character assassination and the invasion of her privacy. [1]

The Colonel believes that the Jaegars are ill-suite for civil actions and has requested a transfer from Provincial Commander Hauptmann-General Peter Zenger to be sent to garrison the Mountain Wolf BattleMechs facilities on the world of Vendrell.[1]

FedCom Civil War


Jihad

Severely mauled in the FedCom Civil War, the remnants(15%) of Alarion Jaegers were assigned to Alarion when a Word of Blake taskforce hit planet. The units base of operations outside of planet's capital city were totally erased by the Blakist nuclear strikes from orbit. The later sterilization of the planet by bioweapon attack left no survivors of the unit or the worlds population.[citation needed]

Officers

As of 3062 the commanding officer of the unit was Colonel Julie Hoffman.[1] After her death on Tharkad the unit was reformed under the command of Colonel Helen Johannes.[citation needed]

Tactics

The unit has developed its combat doctrine around the use of Combined Arms. Using the unit's two infanty companies and single Armor Company to pin down the enemy combatants while 'Mech Battalions attack the pinned down foe from flanks or rear. The integral Air Wing is highly proficient at supporting their land based units with air-to-ground attacks.[1]
