About us Looking for relaxed yet immersive historic minded approach on WW2? Founded in 2018 and reactivated in October 2020 after a long break, the Jaeger Battalion 4 is a WWII based realism unit representing an Finnish light infantry battalion. We value activity, fun and our unique historical setting. Despite our historical focus, we try to steer away from the "niche" and negative sides of milsim gameplay - not focusing on unnecessary details or sacrificing fun. We make our events as immersive as possible and attempt to catch the atmosphere of the wartime Finland in our missions. All what is needed to join is maturity, open mindedness and ability to work together as a unit. We desire our members to hold up a certain etiquette within our ranks by respecting the rules, the general behavior, attitude and the goal of the unit. That is done to ensure that everyone can enjoy our events without any drama or non-tolerated behavior. Currently our events are held during the weekend (Main op. Sunday - 6 PM UTC), however we're looking on the opportunity of having events during the week. What were/are the "Jaegers"? In 1914, Finland was part of the Russian Empire. As an result of period of russification, there was many forms of resistance - especially among younger students. Many of them escaped to Germany and underwent military training provided there and thus the newly formed Jäger-Bataillon Nr. 27 became the first purely Finnish unit. This battalion fought in the Eastern Front in WW1 and arrived home amidst a brutal Finnish CivilWwar. Their skills were put to an test by making them the cadre of the freshly created White Army. In the following years, the old Jaegers were shaping up the creation of the Finnish Defence Forces. In 1936, the Jaeger traditions were given to numerous bicycle units: names, marches and flags of many bicycle units were then changed. Vuoksen Jääkäripataljoona (founded 1918 and had numerous name changes) was then renamed to Jääkäripataljoona 4, name which the battalion were to hold in the World War 2. Jaeger troops were trained to master fighting as ski infantry in the winter and as bicycle infantry in the summer. The battalion's logistics and support units were extensively motorized. In the Winter War (1939-1940) the Jaeger Battalions consisted of younger conscripts and career personnel. As a result of this they received better equipment and more demanding tasks than normal infantry units. Jaeger Battalion 4 was among the best performing troops of the army, fighting on numerous fronts of the war.
