- Jäger_(military) abstract "Jäger (singular [der] Jäger, plural [die] Jäger, German pronunciation: [ˈjɛːɡɐ]) is a German military term adopted in 1631 by the landgrave of Hesse when he first formed an elite infantry unit out of his professional hunters (Jäger) and rangers (Forstleute) in the Hessian Army.During the Age of Enlightenment in German-speaking states (and others influenced by them) Jäger is used to describe elite light infantry, especially skirmishers, scouts, sharpshooters and couriers. Jäger, which means "hunter" or "huntsman" in German, came by extension to denote light infantrymen whose forester background made them suitable for skirmishing as individuals rather than as a drilled and regimented body of soldiers. Often they came from families with a tradition of service to one feudal lord. Initially Jägers made use of their own precision made rifles: a more accurate weapon with a longer range than the muskets used by line troops.While Jäger term continue, in some modern instances, to carry their original and literal connotations, both have broadened in usage over time. For instance, Feldjäger was the name given by the Prussian Army basically for scouts and couriers. In Bundeswehr Feldjäger is the name of German military police. During the 20th century Jagdflugzeug (short form: Jäger) became the German word for fighter aircraft, while Panzerjäger was the name adopted for tank destroyers.Jäger, in its original sense of light infantry, is usually translated into English as: "rifleman" (in an infantry role) or "Rifles" (in regimental names) and; "ranger" (especially in North American English; see below).In English Jäger is often written as jaeger (both pl. and sgl.) or anglicised as jager (pl. jagers) to avoid the umlaut.".
