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 26th Arcturan Guards into a new model that could hold the territory she had claimed. Then, its three Light Combat Teams became the 1st Tamar Jaegers, 2nd Tamar Jaegers and 3rd Tamar Jaegers.[2]
The unit was first tested in October 3151, when, along with the 3rd Jaegers and the Mercenary group Twenty-First Centauri Lancers were send to claim the planet Pandora, to prevent its key armament factories to fell in hands of Clan Jade Falcon Remnants of Khan Jiyi Chistu.[3] The Falcon's forces agreed to a Trial of Position for the planet, but proved to bee much bigger than expected, and more aggresive: though outnumbered by the Jaegers, the Falcons attacked head-on, using artillery attacks and a sand storm 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 bothy the 2nd and 3rd sustained over thirty percent casualties.[4]
