==History==
The homeworld of the '''1st New Ivaarsen Chasseurs''' is [[New Ivaarsen]].

===Fourth Succession War===
In the [[Fourth Succession War]], the 1st New Ivaarsen Chasseurs landed on [[New Hessen]] in the first wave of [[Operation Rat]]. There they faced off against the [[1st New Hessen Irregulars]]. The Chasseurs' aerospace fighters pinned the Irregulars in place long enough for the Chasseurs' 'Mech unit to arrive. Only a battalion of Irregulars 'Mechs was able to withdraw from the world.<ref>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 19</ref> In the next wave, the Chasseurs attacked [[Alrescha]] and defeated the Second Battalion of two regiments: [[Hamilton's Highlanders]] and [[MacGregor's Armored Scouts]]. Soon after defeating the [[CCAF]] battalions, a squad of [[Death Commando]]s wounded most of the Chasseur's command staff.<ref name=NAISv1-032>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 32</ref> This didn't slow down the Chasseurs however, as they captured [[Yangtze]] in the next wave of attacks.<ref>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 33</ref> In the fourth wave of attacks, they defeated [[Hamal]]'s militia.<ref>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 86</ref>

===FedCom Civil War===
During the [[FedCom Civil War]] they spent their time guarding New Ivaarsen. As a result, they were one of the few commands not damaged in the fighting. Archon Katherine's removal of their transport assets probably affected their decision to stay on-world.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 131: "1st New Ivaarsen Chasseurs"</ref> After the Civil War they relocated to [[Benet III]] to shore up the defense of the Draconis March.<ref name=FMUp140>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 140: "AFFS Deployment Table - 3067"</ref>

===Jihad===
The early [[Jihad]] saw the First Chasseurs fighting [[DCMS]] forces.

The [[Seventh Ghost]] were tasked to raid [[Benet]] in September [[3068]], but were intercepted by the First New Ivaarsen Chasseurs well outside the planetary gravity well, chewing up much of their air cover. Contested the entire way in, the Seventh Ghost managed to capture Martine and the [[Browning]] ammunition plant but were been mired by the Chasseurs continuous hit-and-fade defense. The Seventh Ghost forces finally left the planet considering the raid a success.<ref name=CombineAssault>''BattleCorps: INN Newscast (Solaris Broadcasting Co. section), news item published [21/09/3068]: "Combine Forces Assault March Worlds Without Provocation"''</ref>

The Second Chasseurs were wiped out by the Plague of Galedon, and the First was assigned to Operation SCOUR.<ref name=fm85-56>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 56</ref>

In [[3077]] as a part of [[Operation SCOUR]], the First landed on [[Styx]] with the [[19th Arcturan Guards]]. While searching for salvage on a battlefield near the Styx DropPort, the First was ambushed by the Styx [[Protectorate Militia]] and took heavy casualties. This prompted the Coalition commander to deploy tactical nuclear weapons against the defending [[Word of Blake|Blakists]], destroying the planet's capital city.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 32</ref><ref name="J:FRp57">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 57: "The Jihad In Review"</ref> During the [[3078]] assault on [[Terra]], the First New Ivaarsen Chasseurs were part of the Sydney, Australia attack.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 96</ref> They participated despite being only slightly over half strength. The resulting combat on Terra further reduced their numbers and equipment, which have since been rebuilt with new recruits.<ref name="fra8">''Field Report: AFFS'', p. 8</ref>

After returning to their homeworld, the First began replacing their missing soldiers with new recruits. The First has slowly rebuilt, due to their insistence on using only natives of New Ivaarsen.<ref name=fm85-56/>
