North Dakota Army National Guard presence in the north half of North Dakota includes four sites, according to Guard information.

Armories in several communities were returned to the communities by formally conducting “Thank-you Final Formation” ceremonies, said William Prokopyk, assistant public information officer for the N.D. National Guard in Bismarck. He said these ceremonies involved thanking the communities for hosting the National Guard units for decades.

Armories at Oakes and Cando were returned to those communities in fiscal year 2016.

Armories at Bottineau, Mott, Rugby, Grafton, Mayville and Carrington were returned to those communities in fiscal year 2017.

Today, Army Guard presence along U.S. Highway 2, from west to east, and in the north half of the state is Minot, Williston, Camp Grafton Training Center south of Devils Lake and Grand Forks, Prokopyk said.

The N.D. National Guard’s 164th Engineer Battalion headquarters are located at the Armed Forces Reserve Center in Minot.
