Jäger Regiment 1 (Bundeswehr)
Jäger Regiment 1 is the air assault infantry regiment of the German Army, the only formation of its kind in the Bundeswehr. While it comes from the old German tradition of ''Jäger'', it is a relatively recently formed air assault formation, established in 2006. The regiment was part of Airmobile Operations Division, and became subordinate to 21st Armoured Brigade on 19 December 2012. Soldiers of this unit are deployed to the combat zone by helicopters which are supposed to provide fire support as well. Until creation of the Jäger Regiment 1, the Bundeswehr had no air assault capability. The regiment is planned to be disbanded and partly replaced by a new battalion in 2015.
==History==
The regiment was activated in late 2006 and grew to its planned strength until 2008. In March 2008, Jäger Regiment 1 assumed its first operational role and deployed 600 soldiers to Kosovo as part of an operational reserve for ongoing operations of KFOR-troops in the region.〔(Bundeswehr press release )〕 In 2009, the entire regiment was deployed to Afghanistan for twelve months. During that time, Jäger Regiment 1 formed the quick reaction force for ISAF's Regional Command North and saw intense action against insurgents in the northern Kunduz Province.〔Bundeswehr press release ()〕
A member of Jäger Regiment 1 was awarded Germany's highest military decoration for gallantry, the Honour Cross for Bravery on January 22, 2010. Sergeant First Class Steffen Knoska rescued a seriously wounded comrade from incoming fire during an ambush in Afghanistan's Kunduz Province on June 7, 2009. The casualty had been struck by a bullet and was lying defenceless on the ground when Knoska charged into hostile fire. Although having been hit by incoming bullets, Knoska refused to give in and eventually was able to drag the man into safety.〔Bundeswehr press release ()〕
In October 2011 the German Federal Ministry of Defence announced a reorganisation/reduction of the German Armed Forces. As a consequence, Jäger Regiment 1 will be disbanded. The units based in Hammelburg will be completely disbanded whereas at Schwarzenborn two companies will be disbanded. On 1 July 2015, the remainder will form the newly created Jäger Battalion 1.〔Quoted from , PDF-file "Stationing of the Bundeswehr in Germany", 54, 73〕
