History
After Sarah Regis decided to announce the reformation of the Tamar Pact to the Inner Sphere at large in 3151, she quickly set about reorganizing the Twenty-sixth Arcturan Guards into a new model that could hold the territory she had claimed. Then, its three Light Combat Teams became the First Tamar Jaegers, Second Tamar Jaegers and Third Tamar Jaegers.[2]
The unit was first tested in October 3151, when it, along with the Third Jaegers and the Mercenary group Twenty-first Centauri Lancers, was sent to claim the planet Pandora, in order to prevent its key armament factories to fall in hands of the Clan Jade Falcon Remnants of Khan Jiyi Chistu.[3]
The Jade Falcon forces agreed to a Trial of Position for the planet, and they proved to be a much larger force than expected, and more aggressive; though outnumbered by the Jaegers, the Falcons attacked head-on, using artillery attacks and a sandstorm to crush the Jaegers. The taskforce leader, Colonel Jeremy Cox was forced to call its reserve, the Lancers, which crushed the Falcon rearguard. Victory was achieved, and the Lancers were almost intact, but both the Second and Third Jaegers sustained over thirty percent casualties.[3]
