History on Steam:
'The 27th Jager Battalion' goes back a long way, we were established as a WW1: Source realism unit on the 10th of June, 2010 by the founding members (Randall, Hakala, Stern and Collins). We remained in WW1: Source awaiting the release of Verdun for almost 1 year operating with our friends the 3rd Marines and 105., as well as a couple of other realism units to keep the mod going before the Battalion was forced to disband used to the mod's community slowing to a point where unit activities were almost impossible. However, since then many members have missed the glory of the 27., and sought to reform it in a new WW1 mod, and that is when we began to establish in IE. Now, several veterans and friends of the old '27th Jager Battalion' have restablished as the '27. Jääkäripataljoona' for IE. We are welcoming both veterans and new volunteers to join us.

Historical Basis:
We are founded based upon the Finnish Jager Movement during the Finnish Civil War which emerged out of the Royal Prussian 27th Jäger Battalion, the battalion formed in 1915, made up entirely of Finnish volunteers who escaped Russian occupied Finland with the intention of liberating Finland from the Empire. The volunteers were trained in Germany and became part of the German Army, they fought in battles on the Eastern Front during WW1. Once Finland declared independance they returned to their homeland and became even more famous for the battalion's service in the Finnish Civil War fighting for the anti-Communist Civil Guard ('Whites') following Monarchist/Liberal ideologies against the Bolshevik-backed Communist Red Guard. The Jagers were later engaged in the 3 wars of Finland between 1939 - 1945 against the USSR invasion and their attempts to reclaim taken land (during WW2 falling under the name Kymi Jääkäripataljoona), the Finnish Jagers still exist today under the name of the Kaarti jääkärit (Jager Guards).

If interested in joining contact Eversti Randall.
All veterans of the 27th Jager Battalion for WW1: Source will be restored their previous rank upon joining.
