Wade Weems is the Director of the Office of Iraq Provincial Reconstruction, Transition, and Stabilization at the U.S. Department of State.
Weems graduated from Yale University and was commissioned in the U.S. Marine Corps, serving on active duty for five years. Upon leaving the service, he attended Georgetown Law School and the Georgetown School of Foreign Service. Weems then clerked for a federal appellate judge and practiced law at the Williams & Connolly firm in Washington, D.C.
Recalled to active duty in 2004, then-Major Weems deployed to Iraq as a civil affairs officer in Fallujah. He was hired by the U.S. State Department in 2006 to serve in the newly-formed Iraq PRT program, first as the Deputy Team Leader and Team Leader with the Muthanna province PRT until July 2007, and then as Team Leader in the Wasit province PRT until May 2008, when he returned to the U.S. to take his current position with the U.S. Department of State.
