Lt. Colonel Brian James, commander of Task Force Atlas
and the 141st Brigade Support Battalion (BSB) of the Oregon Army National
Guard, returned to the United States from a 10-month deployment in support
of Operation Iraqi Freedom and participated in the 41st Infantry Brigade
Combat Team (IBCT) demobilization ceremony held April 21st at the University
of Portland Chiles Center. He is the son of John (Lt Col, USAF-Ret) and
Diane Seubert James of Spokane Valley, Washington. He is also the oldest
grandson of Almira Seubert (and the late John W.) of Cottonwood. Lt. Colonel
James is married to Jill James of Vancouver, WA, and they have three sons,
Zachary, Justin and Ryan living at home. The 41st IBCT deployed into Iraq
in early July 2009 after two months of collective training at Fort Stewart,
GA and one month of pre-mobilization training at Camp Roberts, CA. Its
mission was to provide force protection security and conduct convoy security
operations ranging as far west as the Jordanian border, south to Kuwait
and east nearing the Iranian border. This deployment of over 2,400 Oregonian
Soldiers was the largest since World War II and was augmented by another
650 Soldiers from Idaho (145th BSB from Lewiston), Washington, California,
Nevada, New Mexico, South Carolina, Nebraska, and Delaware. Task Force
Atlas was a melting pot of five of the six battalions. They logged over
2,408,552 miles and conducted over 1,139 convoy missions escorting fuel,
water and other commodities. Lt. Colonel James was awarded the Bronze Star
for Meritorious Service just prior to returning to the states. In July,
he will relinquish command of the 141st BSB and become the Executive Officer
of the 41st IBCT located in Portland. In September, he will assume the
position of Deputy Brigade Commander of the 41st IBCT.
