Royal Reconnaissance Jaeger Battalion

The Recon Jaegers are an elite light infantry unit composed of 380 troopers. Their main purpose is to provide low-level, long term resistance against enemy occupations of Brunant. They specialize in long-range marksmanship, survival skills, and endurance. For instance, while the Household Guard may often be found doing situps or sprints during training, Jaegers will typically be doing 100k marches, learning how to fletch arrows, making cordage from plant fibers, and building shelters. Unlike other units of the Guard, nobody applies to be a Jaeger. Jaegers are selected for training by their commanding officers after at least three years of service without incident.



The ultimate test of a Recon Jaeger's ability is a two-week exercise held in 30,000 acres of forest in southern France rented out by the Brunant government. The simulation includes situations from water purification to ambushing to training "local populace" in the art of war to making a shelter in snow. Only 32% of trainees are able to sucessfully pass this.

Creed
This was devised in 1882 by Alfred Lechovsky, a Polish immigrant who helped found the Jaegers.

''Realizing it is my choice and my choice alone to be a Reconnaissance Jaeger, I accept all challenges involved with this profession. Forever shall I strive to maintain the tremendous reputation of those who went before me. ''

''Exceeding beyond the limitations set down by others shall be my goal. Sacrificing personal comforts and dedicating myself to the completion of the reconnaissance mission shall be my life. Physical fitness, mental attitude, and high ethics—The title of Recon Jaeger is my honor. ''

''Conquering all obstacles, both large and small, I shall never quit. To quit, to surrender, to give up is to fail. To be a Recon Jaeger is to surpass failure; To overcome, to adapt and to do whatever it takes to complete the mission. ''

''On the battlefield, as in all areas of life, I shall stand tall above the competition. Through professional pride, integrity, and teamwork, I shall be the example for all Jaegers to emulate. ''

''Never shall I forget the principles I accepted to become a Recon Jaeger. Honor, Perseverance, Spirit and Heart. A Recon Jaeger can speak without saying a word and achieve what others can only imagine. ''
