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.
