Jeger Corps (Ringerike)

The Jeger Corps is the organization responsible for the training, administration and development of Jeger trained units across all branches of His Majesty's Armed Forces (Ringerike), this is mostly achieved by the running of Training and Selection Courses Courses out of the Jeger Training Centre, Hallingdal.

Jeger Forces are often differently equipped to standard units of the military, with a much larger emphasis on personal preference when it comes to certain elements of equipment, so long as it meets certain regulations, as well as the integration of new technologies resulting in Jeger units often being the first recipients of any newly adopted equipment.

History
The Jegers first emerged in Ringeriker military tradition as light skirmishing forces drawn formed of men involved in Poaching, these men were often expert hunters, keen marksmen and well versed in living off the land, the forces were raised as part of the Crown loyalist Army that deposed Lord-Chancellor Nyttmann in the 1683 and would prove instrumental in their side's eventual victory with an unknown member of a Jeger Company delivering the shot that ended Nytmann's reign. For this act the company was formally absorbed into the King's guard, formalising the title for the first time. The company remains a standing unit of the Ringeriker army as Jeger Company, 1/1 Life Guards. Regiment

Independent Jeger companies and larger formations fought with distinction across the next few centuries notably in the Ingonian region against Liaotian forces across several engagements.

The Modern Jeger
The modern form of Jeger Troop came about during the Grand Campaigns, as the stalemate of trench warfare called for a highly trained, light, mobile infantry force capable of launching lightning raids and shock actions in order to create breakthroughs in opposing lines. It was decided that the Jeger forces were ideally placed to take up this task due to their already more stringent recruiting standards. They were to be the best equipped troops Ringerike could field, making use of light automatic weapons, shotguns and flamethrowers to much wider degree than others. Following the end of the Grand Campaigns these units were maintained as the elite of the Ringeriker infantry force, and were once again best placed to take on a new role with the advent of Airborne operations. The Navy also took interest in the Jeger forces and at the request of the admiralty and with the permission of the King, the first Marine Jeger unit was raised. These were soon followed by even more elite groups, the Hærens Spesialkommando and Marinespesialkommando, originally drawn from the crème of the Jeger crop these troops would form the basis of the Ringerike Special Forces. In order to train the new Marine Jegers the Army founded the Jeger School, which to this day provides the specialist training that underpins the identity of the modern day Jeger.

Selection and Training
All successful applicants to Jeger designated close combat units, regardless of service and destination, on completion of basic and phase 2 training will then attend Jeger School. Candidates will not have any interaction with their future service until the end of their Jeger training.

Officers of the Jeger Regiment conduct the same course once they have completed their training. In order to serve alongside the Jeger Regiment soldiers and officers must pass in-house screening within their units and then complete the Jeger School course.

The course is a minimum of 10 weeks long and consists of three phases; Indoctrination, followed by the Jeger phases, the indoctrination phase consists of 4 weeks of high intensity physical training events, land navigation exercises, and field training serials. The Jeger phase consists of advanced marksmanship, basic breaching and air assault training. All officers complete an additional bolt on ‘officers week’ which consists of a series of challenging physical and mental exercises designed to challenge the judgemental and leadership abilities of the candidates.

Units aligned in support of Jeger units may put forward candidates for the Jeger course, with all attachments classed as close combat being required to do so and all NCOs are required to complete The Jeger Leadership School in order to hold rank, as is the standard in Jeger line units, those wishing to join such units must pass in-house selection cadres overseen by the Jeger training centre before being assigned and do not wear the headdress matching the colour of the unit to which they are attached unless they are put forward for and successfully complete the full Jeger Selection course.

Jeger Leadership School
The Jeger leadership school is a 70 Day leadership course run by the Jeger Training centre that is available to members of all units in the Ringeriker armed forces however is a requirement for promotion within Jeger and Jeger attached units, it consists of Physical training assessments at the standard of Jeger units, as well as advanced navigation and marksmanship training and assessments before progressing on to the leadership training phase with a focus on advanced and non-standard small unit tactics.
