Late in 1941 the German Army created a series of leichte Infanterie Divisionen (light infantry divisions) for service in hilly and mountainous areas and in the Pripet marshes but not requiring the full capabilities of a mountain division.
These divisions were smaller than normal with a lighter artillery regiment equipped in part with 7.5cm and 10.5cm mountain guns. Their artillery and supply services were fully motorised making them better suited to combat in areas where there is only one road to supply the entire formation. In the middle of 1942 the light divisions were renamed Jägerdivisionen (Jäger means hunter or light infantry).
In essence a Jägerdivision is a normal Infanteriedivision (infantry division) with only two infantry regiments instead of three. Although each Jägerregiment had about the same number and type of weapons as a well-equipped infantry regiment, the heavy weapons were more decentralised.
The battalion heavy company had three machine-gun platoons rather than two, but no mortar platoon. Instead this platoon moved to a fifth company containing the mortar platoon, a pioneer platoon, and a light infantry gun platoon (leaving only the two 15cm infantry guns, the anti-tank gun company, and the scout platoon at the regimental level.
