Bismarck\u00a0 (CSI-NDNG) \u00a0A North Dakota Army National Guard unit has received an alert notification for possible mobilization. About 30 members of the Fargo-based 191st Military Police Company were placed in an alert status. The decision to mobilize this unit has not yet occurred, but upon a final decision, an official U.S. Army mobilization order will be published. The unit has detachments in Mayville and Bismarck.<\/p>\n
If mobilized, the unit will provide military police operations support to U.S. and coalition forces, in Afghanistan early in 2018.<\/p>\n
Maj. Gen. Alan S. Dohrmann, North Dakota adjutant general, says, “I have complete confidence in the ability and professional competence of the leaders and Soldiers in our military police unit to accomplish their assigned missions.\u00a0 I remain appreciative of the tremendous support demonstrated by our Guard families, employers and friends during all of our domestic and overseas missions.”<\/p>\n
The Soldiers were notified of their alert status by their leadership. The 191st Military Police Company specializes in law enforcement activities, mobility support operations, area security, detention operations, and criminal investigations in support of joint contingency efforts worldwide. They also execute domestic operations with emphasis on police and detention operations in support of state and civil authorities. About 30 Soldiers of the unit served in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, from 2012-2013, and about 180 Soldiers served in Baghdad as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2008-2009.<\/p>\n
The 191st Military Police Company is led by Capt. Jacob Danduran, of Fargo, and 1st Sgt. Jennifer Gowan, of Grand Forks, North Dakota. Soldiers in the unit hail from nearly 70 communities across North Dakota, Minnesota and South Dakota.<\/p>\n
The 136th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion (CSSB), based in Devils Lake, North Dakota, is the only other North Dakota Army National Guard unit that’s also in an alert status.<\/p>\n
Since the 2001 terrorist attacks on America, the North Dakota National Guard has mobilized more than 4,200 Soldiers and over 2,600 Airmen in support of the Global War on Terrorism. About 70 percent of all members serving today have joined since that time. With a total force of about 4,100 Guardsmen, the North Dakota National Guard remains ready for stateside response and national defense. For every 10,000 citizens in North Dakota, 65 serve in the North Dakota National Guard, a rate that’s more than four times the national average.<\/p>\n
