North Dakota National Guard Public Affairs

For all of the latest news, updates and photos from the North Dakota National Guard, go to our Pressroom page: http://www.ndguard.ngb.army.mil/news/pressroom/Pages/default.aspx

The following updates are broken down by city/county and date. All new information is highlighted in red. Contact information, acronyms used and flood-related North Dakota National Guard news releases are located near the end of this document.

Background:

As Ward, Morton and Burleigh counties face quickly rising floodwaters, Gov. Jack Dalrymple has activated the NDNG to respond in those areas. Guardsmen will provide support as requested through the Department of Emergency Services, and are on standby for additional response.

Nearly 2,000 N.D. National Guard members are on flood duty today in the state. Guardsmen are on flood-related missions in Bismarck/Burleigh, Mandan/Morton and Minot/Ward County, with about 600 Guardsmen serving in Ward County. About 1300 are in Burleigh and Morton Counties. The Guard continues to monitor the state for potential flood operations.

The NDNG’s flood support in the Bismarck-Mandan area consists of sandbagging operations, traffic control points, resource control points, Civil Military Assistance Teams (CMATs), heavy equipment operation, sandbag filling and dike construction. Plans are being made to begin patrolling the levee systems in the near future. In Minot, the NDNG’s missions include patrolling 21 miles of levees from Minot to Burlington, staffing traffic control points and providing quick reaction force teams for any needed response. Presence patrols are moving through evacuated areas to ensure residents need not worry about theft or vandalism while they’re away from home. The Guard has helicopters and high-wheeled vehicles ready on standby for needed response.

Earlier this year, the NDNG spent 32 days on flood operations across the state, with 1,486 Guardsmen contributing to the effort at some point during the mission.

As the first military responders in the state, the NDNG remains prepared with personnel and equipment to assist our communities and state when ordered by the governor. A total of 3,300 Soldiers and Airmen are available to perform flood-response duties.

The N.D. National Guard (NDNG), as well as the N.D. Department of Emergency Services (NDDES), the Governor’s Office and other state agencies, has prepared for flood response. Governor Dalrymple has called up Soldiers and Airmen to serve on State Active Duty in to support severe summer flood operations in Ward County/Minot, Morton County/Mandan and Burleigh County/Bismarck.

Following our updates will provide you the latest information for the community on which you may be reporting.

Elsewhere in the state, we remain vigilant to potential missions supporting civil authorities in our communities. The Guard will continue to respond with appropriate personnel and resources when ordered by the governor.
