National Guard Secures Historic Anniversary

North Dakota’s deploying 50 National Guard troops for the nation’s 250th anniversary, including the grand opening of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora. Funded by $283K from the state’s emergency commission, the troops—split between military police and general soldiers—will be stationed in Dickinson and Bismarck from June 29 to July 6 to back up local law enforcement. Equipped with 20 tactical vehicles and helicopter teams, they’re ready for any eventuality, all under Governor Kelly Armstrong’s emergency operations plan. This deployment is strictly for historic celebrations—not drought relief, wildfires, or VIP security. Expect a massive crowd for the July 4 weekend kickoff.
