Feldjagdabteilung d. LW - What is it?

Hello all,
Would anyone be able to shed any light on what type of unit Feldjagdabteilung d.LW 103 was?
I have a WP to a long serving Knights Cross winning pilot (a Major) and the last unit he served with from 1st May 1945 - and was discharged from - was 1./Feldjagdabteilung d.LW 103. I initially thought that it could be related to the late war Feldjäger Korps but they were formed as Bataillonen & Regimenter (so a designation would be along the lines of II./Feldjäger Rgt 1) and came under the responsibility of OKW so there wouldn't be a designation of 'der Luftwaffe'.
Prior to this unit, the Major served as a pilot in NJG 2 from Oct 1944.

(Thanks to GW for the Feldjäger information.)
