Offerdal is a parish in Jämtland province. There was a regiment raised in Jämtland called “Jämtlands fältjägarregemente” or Jämtland Rifle Regiment in English. A “fältjägare” was a soldier serving in this regiment or rifleman in English. A rifle regiment is a military unit consisting of a regiment of infantry troops armed with rifles and known as riflemen. While all infantry units in modern armies are typically armed with rifled weapons the term is still used to denote regiments that follow the distinct traditions that differentiated them from other infantry units. A similar term is army ranger. /Hans
