Their tactics emphasise speed and mobility, utilising skis during the Winter War to swiftly move through the forests. These highly motivated and skilled fighters are men from rural areas and have excellent fieldcraft skills. During the Continuation War (1941 to 1944) some Jääkäri trained to support tanks, and eventually formed the infantry component of the Panssari (armoured) division.
