The lightweight "Chasseurs" are tasked with finding the enemy and making the rest of the team aware, then tactically take them out using "Tireur" marksman or the "Éclaireur" scout. They can count on aerial recon planes.

- Official Verdun Squad Guide

The Chasseurs Alpins (translation, alpine hunters), generally called chasseurs, are a light infantry scout squad, based on French First World War elite mountain infantry.

They can use their recon plane to scout the enemy trench lines. This recon plane will show any enemies on your minimap for your entire squad. They also have twice as much stamina as every other squad, and therefore, can sprint for twice as long.

In the scout squads, you can spawn on any member of the squad, as long as they are near a spawnpoint. You will notice if you're next to a spawnpoint when there is a text with "[number] squad reinforcements can spawn near you".

With provision of information to spot enemy weak spots, lessened penalties for death, large sprint meters, and the some protection from enemy reconnaissance planes in that they cannot be made aware of under certain circumstances, this is very much one of the most popular and effective aggressive squads.
