===Formation===
The '''Donegal Jaegers''' were founded along the other Alliance Jaeger regiments, siphoning matériel from the [[Alliance Guards]] as needed.  This regiment captured the adulation of their home province, and with local financing, grew from a battalion to a regiment in a mere 20 months.  The Donegal Jaegers were granted regular status at the end of 3062 after extensive wargames with the [[24th Lyran Guards]].<ref name=FMLA52/>

The regiment saw only minimal action over the course of the war.  They were pinned down by the [[25th Arcturan Guards]] and prevented from participating in the battle of [[Tharkad]]. Rather than fight the 25th Arcturan Guards, the First persuaded them to accept a truce.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 167, "1st Donegal Jaegers"</ref> As a result, the unit was nearly at its full strength at the end of the war.<ref name=FMUp178>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 178, "LAAF Deployment Table - 3067"</ref>

Deployment table shows them at 110% strength.</ref>
 
 
After the [[FedCom Civil War]] ended, the First Donegal Jaegers were reassigned to [[Donegal]].<ref name=FMUp178/>
 
 
 
===Jihad===
 
The Word of Blake launched a raid on Donegal between the 14th and 17th of March [[3068]] that featured support from Blakist [[WarShip]]s or [[Pocket WarShip]]s.<ref name="J:FRp45">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 45, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> The WoB deployed the ''[[Blake's Redemption]]'', a [[Vincent]]-class corvette that with precise marksmanship with its capital ship weapons and a few nuclear devices was able to reduce to rubble in less than two days ''[[Nashan Diversified]]'s'' and ''[[Lockheed/CBM]]'s'' complexes, and all key infrastructure and landmarks of the planet's major cities despite a fervent resistance by the 1st Donegal Jaegers aerospace wing. After that the ship went silent though still in orbit.<ref name="TCp110">''Total Chaos'', p. 110-112, "DONEGAL"</ref>
 
 
 
In February 3070, the Word dropped the [[2nd Division (Word of Blake)|Second Division]] on Donegal. Having already hidden several [[Level II]]s, the 1st Donegal Jaegers lasted for one week after surrendering, with the Ian McQuiston trying to escort a relief force to the planet but suffering heavy damage in the failed attempt.<ref name="TCp110"/> The Donegal Jaegers were destroyed on their homeworld.<ref>''Field Report: LAAF'', p. 9</ref>
 
 
 
In [[3083]] the LCAF High Command rebuilt the unit, now part of the [[Lyran Reserves]], by splitting the [[25th Arcturan Guards]] in half.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 98</ref> The First Donegal Jaegers then spent the next two years training with and against the [[7th Donegal Guards]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 103</ref>
 
 
 
===Dark Age===
 
The unit had once again been dissolved by [[3145]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 132</ref>
