Minnesota National Guard Soldiers of the Montevideo-based 1st Battalion, 151st Field Artillery assisted the North Dakota National Guard in making Minot safe and secure as they recovered from disastrous flooding July 5-19. The Minnesota and North Dakota Guard established traffic control points, monitored pump stations and conducted roving guards to secure neighborhoods and discourage looting. Spc. Peter McAnally checked drivers for identification at the entrance to a flooded neighborhood and escorted homeowners to the waters edge hoping to catch a glimpse of their property.
