KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany — The former commander of the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team was found guilty Wednesday of two charges of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman.

A jury of five colonels found Col. James H. Johnson III guilty of the two specifications at his court-martial in Kaiserslautern after more than three hours of deliberation.

His two teenage children sitting in the gallery, who are estranged from their father, smiled at the verdicts. His parents, Edna and retired Lt. Gen. James H. Johnson Jr., looked stricken. Col. Johnson showed no emotion.

He had already pleaded guilty to 15 other charges, including fraud, bigamy, adultery, wrongful cohabitation and violating regulations or orders.
