Lidgerwood Flooding

A North Dakota National Guard Quick Reaction Force (QRF) responed to the threat of overland flooding in Lidgerwood, N.D., on March 18. Nine Guardsmen from the 188th Engineer Company from Wahpeton, N.D., applied pre-filled sandbags to the dike, and then brought in three 5-ton dump trucks to haul clay for Comstock contractors to advance the height of the dike. It was a cooperative operation among the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Comstock and North Dakota National Guard members that successfully stopped the breach and built up the dike.
