Schulte Retires after Three Decades of Service

After three decades of service North Dakota Air National Guard Brig. General Robert Schulte is calling it quits.

Governor Doug Burgum says Schulte’s leadership improved the lives of North Dakotans.

Major General Al Dohrmann added thanks to Schulte “North Dakota was able to rapidly increase COVID-19 testing capability from a couple of hundred to several thousand tests per day. His efforts brought piece of mind to our citizens and provided the data health officials needed to fight the pandemic.”
In honor of his service Dohrmann presented Schulte the Legion of Merit.

Schulte’s military service began in the Biomedical Science Corp in 1993, serving three years with the U.S. Air Force’s 55th Medical Group, Offutt Air Force Base. Following his active duty commitment, he was assigned to the U.S. Air Force Reserve’s 934th Airlift Wing, Minneapolis, Minn. from 1996 – 1999. In 1999, Schulte joined the North Dakota Air National Guard serving in a variety of medical positions culminating as the commander of the 119th Wing’s Medical Group from 2012 – 2019. In September 2019 he was appointed as the North Dakota Air National Guard’s Chief of Staff – Air.
