BISMARCK - North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum has reappointed Maj. Gen. Alan Dohrmann as the state's adjutant general to lead the National Guard, the governor's office said Wednesday, Nov. 28.
Dohrmann's six-year term is effective July 1. He first took over the role in late 2015, under then-Gov. Jack Dalrymple, when he succeeded the retiring Maj. Gen. David Sprynczynatyk.
Dohrmann commands almost 4,100 North Dakota Air and Army National Guard members and is director of the North Dakota Department of Emergency Services. His tenure included the monthslong protests over the Dakota Access Pipeline.
“Through periods of calm and considerable unrest, Maj. Gen. Dohrmann has demonstrated exceptional and unflappable leadership of the outstanding men and women in the North Dakota National Guard and Department of Emergency Services,” Burgum said in a statement.
