Corpo dei Cacciatori del Margraviato di Brandeburgo-Ansbach, 1769–1791

A typical Jäger zu Fuß serving con the German Auxiliary Forces in North American. I Jäger were foresters e gamekeepers who would be called up for military duty when needed. The man shown here is taking a rest on a beautiful day in agosto . Leaning against the tree is a Jäger rifle which had much better accuracy e greater range than a musket della fanteria regolare, but which took more time to load. Cacciatori were trained to act individually o in small groups, e they could be trusted not to desert at the first opportunity. When the Anspach-Bayreuth reggimenti di fanteria mutinied during embarkation at Ochsenfurt, the Feld-Jäger company under Capitain von Cramon was employed as military police to bring the fanteria back into line.

I Jäger sono fanteria leggera d’élite tedesca who served primarily on foot o as mounted fanteria. In addition to their combat role, cacciatori were often used as scouts, dispatch riders, e military police. The most famous member of the Anspach-Bayreuth Jägercorps was a young Lieutenant von Gneisenau who served nell’America settentrionale in 1782 e 1783, e who later became a prominent military reformer e field-marshal dell’armata prussiana. Lieutenant von Gneisenau saw no action in North America, but he e the many other Europeans who participated in the struggle learned a great deal about light troops e skirmish tactics.
