Army Spec. Jason M. Browning has been mobilized and activated for deployment overseas to a forward operating base in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Operation Iraqi Freedom is the official name given to military operations involving members of the U.S. armed forces and coalition forces participating in efforts to free and secure Iraq. Mission objectives focus on force protection, peacekeeping, stabilization, security and counter-insurgency operations as the Iraqi transitional governing bodies assume full sovereign powers to govern the peoples of Iraq.

Members from all branches of the U.S. military and multinational forces are also assisting in rebuilding Iraq's economic and governmental infrastructure, and training and preparing Iraqi military and security forces to assume full authority and responsibility in defending and preserving Iraq's sovereignty and independence as a democracy.

Browning, a military police member with two years of military service, is normally assigned to the 363rd Military Police Company, Detachment 1, based in Jane Lew, WV.

He is the son of Debbie A. Swank of Tara Court, Kingsley, PA.

His wife, Valissa, is the daughter of Jeff Persing of Mansfield, PA, and Jerry Bocus of Station Hill Road, Kingsley.

The specialist graduated in 1997 from Mountain View High School, Kingsley.
