The Royal Erebonian Jägers is an Erebonian infantry brigade based in Fort Daidoji Kitagawa in Leeves. The brigade is oldest and longest serving brigade in the history of the Imperial Army of Erebonia. The Jaeger Brigade consists of 5 regiments of Jaegers which were formed across Erebonia. Unlike other Erebonian infantry formations, the Jägers have specialised training that have made them one of the most formidable infantry formations in history.

Each regiment carries a specialised doctrine:

• The Heimdallr Guard Jägers are the capital city's well-known defenders. They are responsible for keeping the capital in check in times of war. They are also highly-skilled in urban warfare,
• The Western Erebonian Jägers takes its roots from Oslo. Known for their training in highly forested areas, they are responsible for the security of Erebonia's wide forestry.
• The Nortia Gebirgsjägers takes its roots from Roer. Trained specially for mountainous and urban terrain with specialised equipment.
• The Sutherland Jägers takes its roots from Saint-Ark. This regiment is the youngest created in 1912, which was a countermeasure in case of any Imperial aggression prior to the First Europan War. They have since been responsible for guarding Erebonia's borders.
• The Trondheim Grenadier Jägers takes its roots from Trondheim. Out of all the Jäger regiments, the Trondheim Jägers has earned the most recognitions and awards throughout its existence that it has been considered by many to be the 2nd most elite formation after the Erebonian Special Air Service.

The Erebonian Jägers number to at least 5,000 men, with those from the Trondheim Grenadier Jägers often being sent overseas as Erebonia's aid to several Allied nations with regards to insurgencies. They have been most famous for halting the Imperial push to Heimdallr during the Second Europan War, a feat which was also repeated during the Battle of Heimdallr during the Neocon War, in which the 5 Jägers regiments were able to repulse an overwhelming Neocon offensive towards the capital, inflicting one of the highest casualties for the Neocons during the conflict.
