Gov. Doug Burgum has requested a presidential major disaster declaration for extensive storm damage sustained by infrastructure, farmsteads and ranches in July. The request follows the governor’s action last week declaring a severe summer storm disaster for Bowman, Dunn and Slope counties. A series of severe thunderstorms on July 20-21 produced large hail and gusty winds of up to 73 mph, toppling power lines, causing significant damage to farm and ranch buildings, endangering livestock and damaging or destroying equipment. The storm also caused widespread damage for member-owned rural electric cooperatives. Total costs are expected to exceed $1.1 million. The governor sent his request Thursday to President Donald Trump

Although he retired as a member of the North Dakota Air National Guard in 2007, Engelman began his service with North Dakota’s Army Guard, graduating from OCS Class 10 in 1967. “You have to do the hard, right thing – ethically and morally. This is one of the most important challenges you will face. You are going to be faced with all kinds of decisions. Leadership is decision making. Some of those decisions will be easy and some will be hard, but you have to do the hard, right thing,” he said to the graduates. “I know your sacrifices over this past year; I know your roller-coaster feelings about this rigorous training program, and I know your emotions of today. Congratulations, I salute you and wish you all the best in your military careers.” Dohrmann later presented the graduates with their diplomas, while Brig. Gen. Robert Fode, North Dakota National

Guard Army Component commander, administered the oath of office to the newest second lieutenants in the state. Lt. Col. Bradley Brown, commander of the 164th Regional Training Institute’s 2nd Modular Training Battalion, presided over the “Pinning Ceremony,” where the new officers donned their gold-colored second lieutenant bars. The graduating officers were joined by family members and friends during the ceremony. Three of the Soldiers who graduated from the 60th OCS class pursued their commissions by attending a three-phased, 8-week accelerated, or “Fast Track,” course at Camp Rapid, South Dakota. Graduates also had the option to participate in a traditional course, which is spread out over 16-19 months during Guard training weekends with two additional 2-week training periods.
