U.S. Army (retired)
Interviewed on September 22, 2011 by Michelle Littlejohn on behalf of Dr. Browning's
2011 Fall American Military History Course at Appalachian State University. This
interview took place at Bandys High School in Catawba County, NC where Lt. Col.

�Transcript of Oral History Interview with Lt. Col. Bryan D. Green, U.S. Army, retired
Date: 22 September 2011
Location: Bandys High School, Catawba NC
Project for HIS 3823, 2011 Fall .
Michelle Littlejohn: This is Michelle Littlejohn of Appalachian State University. Today
is September the 22nd. I am at Bandys High School in Catawba interviewing Lieutenant
Colonel Bryan Green.
Okay, Lt. Col., to start with, what's your birth date?
Lt. Col. Bryan D. Green: I was born the 25th of September 1961 in Davie County near a
town called Mocksville.
Littlejohn: Okay, is that in North Carolina?
Green: Yes ma'am, North Carolina.
Littlejohn: Okay. Now when you decided to go into the military, you said you did the
ROTC program at Appalachian?
Green: Yes.
Littlejohn: What made you want to do the program?
Green: Well, I had graduated from high school and I wanted to, I wanted to go into the
military and my parents really didn't, weren't to excited about the idea of military
service. My dad had served in the Navy, my grandfather in the Army and relatives had
served in the Army prior to that. And it was the lure of doing something different and
growing up in an area where you had furniture factories and textile mills there just wasn't
a lot of opportunities in Davie County.
Littlejohn: Uh-huh.
Green: So I went to Rowan Community College for two years and worked for a year as
an Assistant Store Manager with B.C. Moores and I really didn't, that really wasn't my
thing so they had a program at Appalachian State where you could transfer your two year
Associate Degree into a four year program.
Littlejohn: Uh-huh.
Green: And I don't know if it was a fairly new program or it's a pilot program but I
looked into that and then called the recruiter, recruiting officer, the RO at Appalachian
State, Captain Rogers and he got me hooked up to go to basic training and did whatever
he needed to do to get me signed up for the fall semester so that, that summer I went to
Fort Knox to basic and then started Appalachian in the fall as a cadet in Military Science
�III student. And the program was a Bachelor of Technology, Bach - Bachelor of
Technology and Business Education. I think the program was set up to train you to be a
community college instructor.
Littlejohn: Uh-huh.
Green: Or you could teach public school but you'd have to get your teaching
certification. So I think I belonged to the department of Education there at Appalachian
as well as the ROTC department. And so I took that adventure and then did my two years
at Appalachian and then, and then by the time I was ready to graduate in '84 there still
wasn't any real job opportunities out there so I decided I was going to go ahead and give
the Army a try and went on active duty.
Littlejohn: Okay. How did you enjoy the program at Appalachian?
Green: It was, it was great cause you already had a ready set made of friends.
Littlejohn: Uh-huh.
Green: And you already had friends and people that were there. You already had a team
that you were part of, so it made the college experience a lot more pleasurable because
you know, you going in you don't know any body and Col. Michael Scott was the
professor of Military Science at the time and he was a Special Forces guy so we did a lot
of fun things in ROTC at Appalachian. And while I was there I was in the Scabbard
Blade and we did the football games, had to color guard and ushers for the game stuff. So
got to see a lot of the home games there at Appalachian. Then they had started something
called the Gold Bar Recruiting Program. So I got selected my last semester of my senior
year to enter the Gold Bar Recruiting Program which was a good deal because they paid
you as a Second Lieutenant and you recruited for Appalachian State so that also became
my internship for my degree. So that worked out well. And so I was getting paid, you
know, in lieu of not getting paid cause I was making- you got paid as a cadet by the
Army and then I, my first semester I worked making doughnuts and getting up at three in
the morning and going to the cafeteria and making doughnuts for a semester and then I,
once I lived in Bowie and then you know walking all over the place and walking down to
the cafeteria I said, you know I got an RA job so I was an RA the other semesters I was at
Appalachian. So it was a good experience. I love Boone and that environment so I got to
come on active duty early and work for Appalachian State till about November.
Littlejohn: Uh-huh.
Green: And then went to my officer basic course at Fort Sam Houston, Texas so I, I can
say I was probably one of the first Gold Bar Recruiters for App.
Littlejohn: Okay.
�Green: So I got to come on early and got to go to all the feeder colleges for Appalachian
State.
Littlejohn: Uh-huh.
Green: They had a old four wheel drive Dodge Ram and that was my vehicle so that was
pretty fun driving down the mountain and up the mountain to the various colleges that
feed Appalachian State.
Littlejohn: So how was - you went through. boot camp?
Green: Went through basic at Fort Knox.
Littlejohn: Basic ... How was that?
Green: It was an eye opening experience cause they were students, college students,
from all over the country there at Fort Knox. To enter ROTC you either have to go
through Military Science I & II as a freshman and sophomore or you would have to
complete a basic training equivalent. Given the time frame I didn't have time to go
through the Army standard basic combat training so cadet command ran what they call a
Basic Camp which is equivalent to, they give you your credit for basic training at Fort
Knox and the Drill Sergeants had just finished with a cycle of recruits for the Army and
now they had cadets. They had all college students and I don't think they differentiated
very much between cadets and college students but it was a good experience. It was
filmed on same site that the movie Stripes was filmed on cause they still have the World
War II wood ...
Littlejohn: Uh-huh.
Green: They had just filmed Stripes not too long ago so.
Littlejohn: Oh wow. (laughs)
Green: It, it was definitely a, it was a leadership experience cause they do the same thing
they did twenty years ago, you know, you rotate into leadership positions, you have to
lead your squad or platoon or company.
Littlejohn: How did that differ with the officer training after you left the ROTC program
at Appalachian?
Green: Well, once you, once you earn your commission you are now a Second
Lieutenant and they expect you to act and conduct yourself as a Lieutenant. We weren't
treated like trainees but any means but they expected a high standard of behavior from
you.
�Littlejohn: Uh-huh. Okay. Let's see. Was there any memorable experiences frnm the
training program that you took away or - ?
Green: Met a lot of folks from all over the country. Especially the ones from Boston you
know they eat with a 'folk and a spoon.' We saw quite a bit of attrition cause a lot of
folks thought that this, this was gonna be an easy ...
Littlejohn: Uh-huh.
Green: Six weeks at Fort Knox and it was actually physically challenging. You were
under mental stress.
Littlejohn: Uh-huh.
Green: So the first week there was quite a few that didn't make it.
Littlejohn: Okay. And once you finished officer training, where did you go from there?
Green: After I finished my officer basic course at Fort Sam Houston I was assigned to
the 197111 Infantry Brigade at Fort Benning, Georgia to 2nd Battalion 69 111 Armor as their
medical platoon leader. I got there in January and the brigade was deploying to Reforger
in Germany so I was there for three days and just long enough to draw equipment and get
on a plane and go to Reforger which is Return of Forces to Europe. This was during the
Cold War so every, every year that as a show of force to the Soviets, the U.S. would
deploy units from the States as well as deploy units and draw equipment in country. We
actually brought our equipment from Fort Benning, which the big climate difference
between Fort Benning, Georgia and Europe so we had a lot of issues in January on this
exercise. Actual unit arrived in Amsterdam and the main body flew into Luxembourg and
that's where I came in and I literally met my platoon on the ground during Reforger. And
then from Luxembourg we went to Kaiserslautem. And Kaiserslautem was a staging base
and from there we did the exercise all across Germany. It was a cold field, field
experience but a good leadership experience to be with a combat brigade on a major
exercise like that.
Littlejohn: Okay. Where did you go after that?
Green: Well I spent two years in the 2nd Battalion 69th Armor and then I was moved to
the main forward support battalion in the 197111 to Bravo Company and spent another
almost year and a half at Fort Benning and after Fort Benning I applied for flight training
and got accepted, made it through flight training up to Instruments and then decided
flying helicopters wasn't for me so then they sent me to the 4111 United States Army
Readiness Group to train reserve component forces ·in Indiana and Ohio.
Littlejohn: Okay. Now where did, where did your career take you after that?
�Green: After serving as a Readiness Group Advisor I went to the Transportation Officer
Advanced Course - it was in Readiness Group that I got involved with deployment and
transportation stuff and after the Transportation Officer Advance Course at Fort Eustis,
Virginia was assigned to Korea to 8th United States Army to the Yon Son Army Garrison.
I originally was slated to go to 2nd Infantry Division but showed up in country, I ended up
being the Installation Transportation Officer for the Yon Son Army Garrison. As a young
Captain in a Major's job and had a fleet of about 1200 vehicles, 700 employees both
Korean Nationals, Korean Service Corps, soldiers - had about 32 soldiers - and we did
the whole range from shipping people's pots and pans to running a transportation motor
pool to driver's training. I guess the highlight of that tour was doing the, cause we had 72
buses there in the fleet and 24 of those buses were ambulance buses so we did a
repatriation ofremains from the Korean War so that was pretty cool. And handled the
cars for the general officers. It was an interesting, good tour, learned a lot about
transportation.
Littlejohn: Did you enjoy your time in Korea more than you did in Germany?
Green: Well I would go, I would be going back to Germany several times over my career
but Korea was a good tour. It was an eye opener, an eye opening experience especially to
see the demilitarized zone which is like a mile Ion- mile wide, most fortified border in the
world. Unless you've seen it, it's, it's, it's, it's hard to fathom that you know we are
always at the close brink of war there on the demilitarized zone. Most folks never see that
and hear the speakers blaring, see the North Korean soldiers and at that time there was
still Russians in North Korea. Korea was a good experience.
Littlejohn: Okay. Now after you left Korea, where were you assigned?
Green : I was assigned to the 24th Infantry Division at Fort Stewart, Georgia. And it's a
mechanized division. They had just redeployed from Desert Shield I Desert Storm. My
advance course had gotten cut early, cut - cut - reduced by I think two months and they,
there was several of us on the slate to go to the Middle East but the war ended early so
they had to reassign us so I got reassigned to go to Korea and then by the time I got back
from Korea most of the divisions in the States had redeployed back so I arrived at Fort
Stewart as the 24th had redeployed from Desert Shield I Desert Storm and then of course
there was a reduction of force after that operation so I saw a lot of friends get rifted out of
the military. I went to the Main Support Battalion in the 24th Infantry Division, served as
the Adjacent for the battalion that was 1200 soldiers ih the battalion, 7 companies and we
had detachments up at Hunter Army Airfield that supported the aviation brigade. And
then I commanded a company in the Main Support Battalion. That was a good experience
being a company commander and after that they asked me to come up on Division Staff
so I came up on Division Staff as a Senior Captain, worked as the Division
Transportation Officer for three months until the actual Major came in from Command
and General Staff College. And during that time, you know, I saw several deployments,
everything from Haiti to Suriname to the Middle East. It was good, good experience
working on Division Staff and rotations to the National Training Center.
�Littlejohn: Uh-huh. Do you have any particular memories from any of those
deployments that you Green: I remember one field exercise. A guy I worked with was from Alabama, a big
tall, lanky guy, Major Floyd Driver. And he was a quiet, quiet guy, you know, he wasn't
real loud and boisterous. But we were out on a field exercise and a gator had wondered
into our bivouac area and I had the night shift, he had the day shift, was getting ready to
change shifts, it was early in the morning and this gator had wondered almost up to our
top. And I had never seen anybody actual wrestle a gator in real but he wrestled this gator
and took some parachute cord, tied his mouth shut, tied him up and then the MP's came
and got the gator later that day. So it was a good thing he knew how to handle a gator.
Littlejohn : It sounds like it.
Green: Cause we didn ' t have any ammunition or anything to take care of that alligator.
Littlejohn: So did you see combat in any of your deployments?
Green: I was never sent direct - well I was sent to the war zone in Bosnia. I had finished
my tour at Fort Stewart and was offered a command in Alaska as a Port Commander. So I
took the tour to Alaska. And got to see most of Alaska and the West Coast. Several
deployments of moving the brigade in Alaska to Thailand or down to the Joint Readiness
Training Center at Fort Chaffee. Moved ammunition and after I finished my command
tour in Alaska I went to Combined, the Combined Arms Support Command at Fort Lee,
Virginia, which I worked in Director of Combat Developments for fielding this new
Striker Brigade, that's, that's what we worked on was the Striker Brigade it's called
Strike Force and it ended up being the new Striker Brigade that the Army has. And while
I was there I was sent to, deployed to Bosnia - originally supposed to go to the
Intermediate Staging Base, Logistics Base in Tazar - but when .I showed up they told me
not to unpack my bags, that I was doing down range to the 1st Armor Division. So I spent
one night at the ISB and then was down range with the 1st Armor Division and spent the
rest of my tour down range with 1st Armor in Bosnia as part of Stabilization Forces Eight.
Yugoslavia, former Yugoslavia was basically the whole place was mined with mines.
You could see signs of war everywhere. If you just think of a place where they didn't
pick up the trash for about five years and you got Bosnia.
Littlejohn: Oh wow . How did it feel to be over there? Was the feeling more intense than
it had been in Korea or - ?
Green: Yeah because, you know, actually seeing the mass grave sites and what hatred
does to people and the horrible conditions these people had endured and it made you
proud to be an American.
Littlejohn: At any time were you afraid or fearful for your life or were you guys in a safe
zone?
�Green: No, we were actually in the operational zone. We had to have two vehicle patrols
when you went out in certain sectors, three vehicles in other sectors, had to take a
machine gun, combat life saver, had to draw your basic load cause it was still fairly
dangerous. Crime was very bad because of the civil war that had been going on in
Bosnia. People were still being found dead. General Ellis who was the commanding
General of the 1st Armor Division actually put in one, one day, in an average day we
would have 97 combat patrols and all the logistics that goes to support all that and that's
what we tracked as the DTO, Division Transportation Office. So saw a lot of stuff there
in Bosnia.
Littlejohn: Did any of your men ever get injured while you were deployed?
Green: As I look back through the career a lot of, almost every NTC rotation they would,
somebody would lose their life in training. It was just the nature of the training. The
Army is very safety conscious so it happened either with the unit I was with or with the
unit that was there. Anything from getting pinched between two vehicles or a rock hitting
a soldier in the head being thrown up from another tract. Of course the operations at night
we were still fielding night vision devices at the time so one morning at National
Training Center a tract flipped over, broke a guy's neck. Everybody that was inside the
Fire Support Tract was injured so medevaced, all those got medevaced out. While I was
in Bosnia, the only injury was to one of the contractors. They were working on a bull
dozer and the guy didn't block up the blade correctly and the blade fell on him and the
son was up at Camp McGovern.
Littlejohn: So while you were away, how, what happened with your family? I know you
have children so ... When did you get married?
Green: Got married in 1984 and first child came along in 1986 while I was at Fort
Benning and then the other two came along when I was at Fort Stewart. I'd say military
life is pretty hard on family especially if you get to be, your kids get old enough to be in
high school. Changing high schools is a lot harder than changing elementary schools and
elementary kids tend to make friends a lot easier than kids when they're in high school.
But I guess, looking back, it made them a stronger person.
Littlejohn: Okay. Did any of your children go into the military?
Green: No. My son, his eye sight was really bad so he wouldn't have passed the physical
for eye sight and my two daughters had asthma so asthma is a discriminator for entering
the military. He, he had thought about it but as a graduation present I got his lasik
surgery.
Littlejohn: How would you have felt if they would have joined the military since your
family was not for you going into the military?
Green: I would of been proud of them. And still proud of them.
�Littlejohn: Okay. So while you were away, what would you guys do to entertain
yourselves or-?
Green: Usually there was no time for entertainment. It was long days when you were
deployed, anywhere from 18, 20 hour days. There was days when you deployed you
don't, you don't, the events dictate your schedule so a lot of time you'd go for a couple
days without sleeping. But I can't remember anything enter-, some of the troops, you
know, occasionally play cards and stuff but by time you figure in their guard mounts and
duties, you know, as well as doing their regular jobs, there wasn't a lot of entertainment
time. Now places like in Bosnia, the USO was there and, you know, they had morale
welfare recreation had facility there and occasionally they'd show movies during, at least
one or two movies, a week. I think they brought the Dallas cheerleaders in but I didn't get
to go see them.
Littlejohn: Okay. Where did you go after you left Bosnia? Did you get to come back to
the States?
Green: I came back to the States to Fort Lee, Virginia and then, and after I got back from
Bosnia was offered a job at the Battle Command Training Program at Fort Leavenworth,
Kansas. And the Battle Command Training Program trained division corps and brigade
commanders so basically I was with a team of Majors and Lieutenant Colonels that
trained general officers and staffs of those, of war fighting divisions. So I started out as a
Combat Service Support Observer Controller and after, after a year there I was promoted
to Lieutenant Colonel and became the Boss Chief, Chief of the Combat Service Support
Team. So during that time I traveled and saw every division in the Army including some
of the Guard, Guard Divisions and we'd do something called a War Fighter exercise
where we'd train the commanders and their staff
Littlejohn: Okay. So did you enjoy that experience?
Green: Yeah. It was good experience, met a lot of folks.
Littlejohn: Okay. And after you left that position, where did you go?
Green: Left that position, I was offered a job in, at Transportation School as the Deputy
Assistant Commandant and during that time I spent about a year as the Commandant and,
and then Second Gulf War broke out and had deployed of the ?1h Transportation Group.
General Dale at the time asked me to, to go over and take what was left of the ?1h Group
which was a provisional battalion of about 1800 soldiers, 7 line companies and 3
detachments of Army buses, so I did that.
Littlejohn: Where exactly did you go?
Green: I was actually station - I was rear detachment at Fort Eustis.
Littlejohn: Okay.
�Green: But during that time we, we had everything outside of the theater of operations in
Iraq so we had boats in Spain, we had boats in the Mississippi, we had boats down in the
Caribbean supporting Special Forces, we had stuff down in South America supporting
Special Ops in the Amazon, we had part of our company deployed out to Fort Lewis,
Washington for a joint logistics over the shore operation and then, a given day out of that
battalion we had about 90 soldiers that did funeral detail for that area of Virginia.
Probably the hardest part, we had, I had, even though I only had 1800 soldiers, I had
about 6,000 family members that were left behind so the operational side was second
place to taking care of families.
Littlejohn: Where did you go after that?
Green: After that I went back to the Transportation School and retired.
Littlejohn: Okay. So how long have you been retired?
Green: Been retired since 2004.
Littlejohn: And how did you end up at Bandys High School?
Green: Started looking around, you know, cause I saw another reduction in force on the,
on the rising and I ran into a JR OTC instructor there at Fort Eustis and I sort of came
across the program when I was a Gold Bar Recruiter at Freedom High School cause that
was one of the schools I went and sat up at so I said, "That sounds like a good job. I think
I would enjoy doing it." So I applied to about six different schools and also applied at
Freightliner and some other places, Target Distribution Centers, and cause a logistics
officer' s in fairly, fairly high demand. So I got offered a job at Hickory and it was a new
program so I started the program at Hickory and then after working at Hickory, I, I
worked, Bandys was my host school so they were the ones that were looking after me as
a new program and when Mike Colbert retired, I moved over to Bandys out in the county.
Littlejohn: What made you stay in the military for all those years because you had many
different positions, I'm sure you probably could of found a job fairly easily with your
experience?
Green : I would say it was the people.
Littlejohn: The people? Do you still keep in contact with people that you were deployed
with or people you led?
Green: Yeah. I still, I still maintain contact.
Littlejohn: Do you see them regularly?
Green: No, not regularly.
�Littlejohn: Okay.
Green: Ever so often.
Littlejohn: Every so often, huh? So what was your most memorable experience being in
the military, the one thing that you took away from it?
Green: Wow. That's a hard question. I'd probably say the camaraderie. You work for
some good people and then, there was always a few turds in there but there's turds in
every organization.
Littlejohn: What was probably the biggest drawback of spending your life in the Army?
Green: Being deployed away from your family. It takes its toll after a while but it was
probably harder on the families than it is the servicemen.
Littlejohn: Okay. Did you receive any awards or medals for your time in?
Green: Yeah. I, I received a few. You need to know what they are?
Littlejohn: If you'd like to tell me, that'd be great.
Green: I got, I got 8 Meritorious Service Medals, 8 Army Commendation Medals, 4
Army Achievement Medals, a NATO Medal, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, a
Army Service Ribbon, Overseas Ribbon, probably missing some in there but, quite a few
awards I reckon.
Littlejohn: How do you feel with your current job as the JROTC instructor, how do you
feel that affects your, or your impact on students? Do you feel like you instill in them the
lessons that you took away from the Army so that they may want to follow that career
path themselves?
Green: Well, our mission is not to recruit for the Army. We're more, our mission is to
motivate young people to become better citizens and we're more of a character building
program, teach leadership, we teach life skills, we teach them how to be confident, teach
them how to dress. So we're, we're preparing them for life after high school cause there's
no other program that'll teach a high school kid how to be responsible and how to be on
time and how to follow instructions and how to gain some confidence cause, you know,
there's, where else can you go and lead a squad or lead a platoon or a company and we
use drill and ceremony, we teach teamwork and discipline, so and we do have students
that do decide to go into the military and they, they do very well. If you, if you take
JROTC and complete three semesters, you can enter the military- the Army, the Navy,
or Air Force- as a, in the grade of E3 and that's about $500 a month raise. Puts you
ahead of your peers so within a year you'll make your Specialist, within two years you
could easily become Sergeant and then if you decide to go the officer route, you already
�know how to wear a uniform, you know how military rank and chain of command works .
You got a few leadership skills there to get you started and, so you're ahead of your peers
even in ROTC if you, you learn what you needed to learn in JR OTC. But a lot of our
students, I would say only 2 to 3% go into the military and the rest go ahead and pursue
college or a career path in a trade.
Littlejohn: Do many of them go on to the ROTC programs at college?
Green: We, we' ve had, we usually have, like see last year's class, one at UNC Charlotte,
2, 3 joined the military. It varies from year to year based on you know, their academic
performance, you know, can they get accepted into a college.
Littlejohn: What would be your advice to them if they went into the military?
Green: Do your best. And be honest and lead by example.
Littlejohn: Okay. That's very good advice. That's good advice for everyone I believe.
What do you plan to do after you finish up here at Bandys?
Green: Probably retire and raise chickens or something.
Littlejohn: (Laughs) Do you plan on returning home or you gonna stay in this area?
Green: I hadn't decided. I like Catawba County and I, there's still a little bit of the farm
left in Davie County so I hadn't decided whether I'd go back to Davie County or not
cause I got a lot of friends up this area.
Littlejohn: Okay. Well I really appreciate you taking your time to talk to me and it was a
pleasure to hear your story and I'd like to thank you for your service to our country.
Green: That's all you needed?
Littlejohn: Yep. Is there anything that you wanted to add?
Green: Nah, I don't have anything to add.
Littlejohn: Okay. Thank you.

Description
An account of the resource
Lieutenant Colonel Green grew up in a military family in the 1960s in a small town, and saw his chance to make something of himself in the military. He didn't join right after high school, but went to basic training over the summer and started at ASU the following fall as a cadet in Military Science. He served most of his time during the Cold War. He now works for Bandys High School in the Junior ROTC program.
