PzJaeger Platoon of a Tank Company*
*
Tank companies have one panzerjaeger platoon each. The jaegers have BTR-50PK for transport, which means that now they can keep up with the tanks. Before the BTR infantry used to ride on the decks of the tanks.*

The duties of these panzerjaegers vary. Their primary role is to support the tanks against enemy infantry destroying AT-weapons that pose danger to the them. They are also used for guard duties and to point directons and targets to tanks when in combat. One common way to use the pzjaeger platoon was to pin down the enemy with the tanks and then move the infantry through a wooded terrain to attack the flank of the enemy. This of course is very slow thing to do, but it was considered better option that to attack the enemy head on with the tanks.*
