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 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]
Since that time, the Colonel began feeling that the unit was ill-suite for civil actions such as policing the public, has request for a transfer. She has requested provincial commander Hauptmann-General Peter Zenger to be sent to garrison Mountain Wolf BattleMechs on world of Vendrell.[1]
