History

In 1883, Company A, First Regiment, Dakota National Guard, was organized at Bismarck, Dakota Territory.[9] In 1889, North Dakota became the Union's thirty-ninth state. The North Dakota National Guard was organized, comprising six infantry companies, two cavalry troops, and one artillery battery. Eight infantry companies of the First North Dakota Regiment were mobilized for the Spanish–American War and the Philippine–American War in 1898.[9] The Regiment earned thirty-nine silver battle rings for its guidon and ten members of the First North Dakota Infantry Volunteers were awarded the Medal of Honor.
