ROSEBURG, Ore. (KTVZ) -- A demobilization ceremony for Oregon Army National Guard soldiers of 1-186 Infantry, 41st Infantry Brigade Combat Team, was held Sunday to recognize and honor their nearly year-long deployment as part of Task Force Guardian.

The ceremony, conducted at the National Guard Armory in Roseburg, acknowledged all of their efforts that contributed to peace-keeping and security throughout Kenya, Somalia and Djibouti.

The deployment was a part of the second-largest mobilization of Oregon National Guard citizen-soldiers since World War II.
