Guard Troops Deploy for State Anniversary

Fifty North Dakota National Guard troops are deploying statewide for the nation’s 250th anniversary celebrations—not for emergencies, but to ensure smooth, secure festivities. Half will be stationed in Dickinson, half in Bismarck, funded by $283,000 drawn from the state’s Disaster Relief Fund. Beyond ceremonial duties, they’ll conduct maintenance drills, train with local law enforcement, and maintain readiness through emergency center liaisons—all part of a proactive April executive order to safeguard the anniversary events.
