History
Formation
The Donegal Jaegers were founded along the other Alliance Jaeger regiments, siphoning material from the Alliance Guards as needed. This regiment captured the adulation of their home province, and with local financing, grew from a battalion to a regiment in a mere 20 months. The Donegal Jaegers were granted regular status at the end of 3062 after extensive wargames with the 24th Lyran Guards.[1]
FedCom Civil War
The regiment saw only minimal action over the course of the war. They were pinned down by the 25th Arcturan Guards and prevented from participating in the battle of Tharkad. Rather than fight the 25th Arcturan Guards, the First persuaded them to accept a truce.[2] As a result, the unit was nearly at its full strength at the end of the war.[3]
After the FedCom Civil War ended, the First Donegal Jaegers were reassigned to Donegal.[4]
Jihad
The Donegal Jaegers were destroyed on their homeworld. [5]
Officers
In 3062 the commanding officer was Colonel Amy Smith, a Capellan March native exiled from the Federated Suns.[1]
Tactics
The Donegal Jaegers are adept at urban defense. In addition, their infantry detachment has undergone unusual training in zero-gravity operations.[1]
