A Stryker brigade that recently returned from Iraq has a new commander.

Col. John S. RisCassi assumed control of the 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry Division, on Friday during a change of command ceremony at the post. He replaces Col. Robert Brown, who is being reassigned to U.S. Pacific Command in Hawaii.

RisCassi joined the Army in 1984. His previous assignments include tours in Germany, Operation Desert Shield/ Desert Storm where he served as a company commander, and in the Pentagon as a Joint Chiefs of Staff intern.

At Fort Lewis, he commanded the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, during the transformation of the first Stryker brigade.
