BISMARCK, N.D. (North Dakota Monitor) – The North Dakota National Guard has a new adjutant general after a change of command and retirement ceremony in Bismarck.
U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Mitchell Johnson officially accepted command of the state’s military and emergency response force Sunday afternoon from Maj. Gen. Alan Dohrmann, who is retiring after serving as adjutant general for more than eight years.
“Our military and emergency services are a team sport and I couldn’t ask for a better team,” Johnson said during the ceremony.
He also praised the state’s Guard soldiers and airmen in serving through extraordinary times over the last decade, which included the COVID-19 pandemic, overseas deployments and multiple statewide emergencies.
