De-escalation: Oregon Guard Soldiers Return Home From Deployment
About 100 Oregon Army National Guard soldiers returned to Portland International Airport on January 15. Governor Tina Kotek and Oregon Military Department leaders greeted them as they exited the plane. Their Title 10 active-duty orders ended, returning them to state authority.
The group was mobilized on September 27, 2025 as Task Force Rose Shield to support U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities in Portland. They were part of a 200-soldier activation ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Legal challenges kept them from operating in the city, and they remained at local training sites.
Before coming home, they spent several days at Fort Bliss, Texas, completing medical and administrative out‑processing. After landing, they rode buses to Happy Valley to retrieve personal items at Camp Withycombe. They then headed home.
