The Alliance Jaegers were formed in [[3057]] as part of [[Archon's Order 5730023]], which brought sweeping changes to the [[Lyran Alliance Armed Forces]]. The order called for five new units, with each one drawing their troops exclusively from their designated province. This was intended to be a source of pride for each of the newly minted provinces. Archon Katherine placed the unit under the command of Hauptmann-General [[Christian Campbell]], who rose to fame as one of the youngest regimental commanders in Lyran history. Though a skilled officer, Campbell had long since begun indulging in his vices, and over the years, would use his position to enable his behavior.<ref name=FMLA />

At the outset of the [[FedCom Civil War]], all five regiments pledged loyalty to Archon [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]]. During that conflict, the Coventry Jaegers were annihilated, the Skye Jaegers publicly stood for the [[Free Skye]] movement, and the Alarion and Bolan Jaegers were badly damaged. The Coventry Jaegers' conduct during the conflict was roundly condemned, and the Archon had no plans to rebuild the unit. Hauptmann-General Campbell was also roundly condemned by Loyalist and Ally alike for his conduct during the war, as he exploited his station to indulge his hedonistic lifestyle.
