(KNOX) – Maj. Gen. Alan Dohrmann, adjutant general of the North Dakota National Guard and director of the North Dakota Department of Emergency Services, will retire Sept. 30, after more than 40 years of military service.
Dohrmann submitted his formal resignation letter this week.
Dohrmann was appointed in December 2015 by then-Gov. Jack Dalrymple and reappointed by Gov. Doug Burgum.
As commanding general of the Multinational Task Force East that supported NATO’s mission in Kosovo in 2009, Dohrmann supervised more than 2,200 soldiers from seven nations.
As adjutant general, Dohrmann leads about 42-hundred service members of the North Dakota National Guard, including the Air National Guard’s Happy Hooligans.
Dohrmann led the National Guard through Dakota Access Pipeline protests, the COVID-19 pandemic… which was the Guard’s largest and longest state mobilization in state history… and recently broke up a major ice jam on the Missouri River.
Dohrmann’s military service began in 1983, when he accepted his commission as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army. He left active duty in 1990, joined the North Dakota National Guard and transferred to the Engineer branch.
North Dakota’s next adjutant general and Emergency Services director will be appointed before Sept 30.
