==Units==
===17th Light Infantry Squadron===
The 17th Light Infantry are the standard rapid assault force of the VDF and are almost exclusively deployed for offensive operations alongside the Expeditionary Force. They a friendly rivalry with the 22nd Light Infantry.
===22nd Light Infantry Squadron ("Norrland Dragoons")===
The 22nd Light Infantry specifically specialize in operating in frozen environments, incredibly common on Valhalla. As such, they often work closely with the Federal Guard in defensive operations. They are also dedicated to counter-terrorist operations on Valhallan soil. 
===1st Airborne Company===
As suggested by its title, the 1st Airborne Company specializes in airborne assaults and insertions, and are skilled parachutists. Recently, however, they have been experimenting with the use of orbital drop pods. 
===1st Urban Warfare Company===
The principle counter-terrorist unit of the VDF and the smallest unit of the Jaeger Regiment. 
===7th Reconnaissance Company ("Life Guards")===
The most infamous of the Jaeger Regiment's units, the Life Guards are trained to be proficient in most combat situations, including counter-terrorism, anti-piracy, guerrilla warfare, and reconnaissance. Life Guards are also always present as bodyguards for Valhallan politicians and ambassadors during foreign trips. 
==Personnel==
===Recruitment & Training===
The Jaeger Regiment holds tryouts around every 6 months, which are open to all VDF personnel, even those who have only just recently graduated boot camp. The tryouts consist of grueling physical and mental tests, including hikes through Valhalla's tundras and simulated anti-gravity combat. Upon passing these tests, qualified personnel are then processed and assigned to one of the regiment's 5 units. Once assigned to a unit, they will go through different training depending on that unit's specialty. For instance, personnel assigned to the 1st Airborne Company will be trained in various parachuting techniques, including HALO (high-altitude, low-opening), HAHO (high-altitude, high opening), and the use of wingsuits.
===Psychology===
Members of the Jaeger Regiment are wholly dedicated to Valhalla and its ideals, and for the most part get along well with members of other branches. However, within the regiment, there is competitiveness and rivalry between some units, however, Jaegers see this as more friendly competition than anything. The most fierce rivalry is between the 17th and 22nd Light Infantry Squadron, due to their similarities.
