====History====
=====Formation=====
The original Commonwealth Jaeger, conceived to form a new elite combat command which consisted of five reinforced Battalions.
Its origins lies in hands of Duke Frederick Steiner, whom meet with wounded Wolf's Dragoons in 3015 after being burned from fires of Anton's Revolt. Using his own funds, the Duke arranged for the Dragoons to recover while rendering aid to train troops to build ideal elite Lyran formation.Chapter 1, Book 2 - Frederick Steiner neogiates a deal that leads to the formation of the brigade
The plan was resulted in formation of five battalions, one attached to each of the Wolf's Dragoons regiments and using these battalions as a cadre to expand up to large formation.Book 2, Chapter 2 - Duke Steiner explains to Archon Katrina Steiner Dragoon training to form the new formations with his own funds. 
The formation would train on Mizar in the Isle of Skye at the Dragoons' base, Fort Joshua. The First and Second Jaegers in their initial battalion size took after the styles of the Dragoon parent regiments and were noted by visiting Archon Katrina Steiner as being far more fluid in their movements than current Lyran regiments in service of the LCAF.Chapter 3, Book 2 - Katrina Steiner notes Jaegars developments into far flexible force.
By 3017, the Jaegars cadre were formed and trained under watchful eyes of the men and women of the elite mercenary command, the Wolf's Dragoons.
