Jäger (singular [der] jäger, plural [die] jäger, German “hunter”) is a German military term referring to specific light infantry units.
In German-speaking states during the early modern era, the term jäger came to denote light infantrymen whose civilian occupations (mostly hunters and foresters) made them well-suited to patrolling and skirmishing, on an individual and independent basis, rather than as part of a large-scale military unit or traditional line infantry. As a consequence, jäger was used to describe skirmishers, scouts, sharpshooters and runners.
