FARGO – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND), member of the Senate Armed Services and Veterans Affairs Committees, welcomed home members of the 191st Military Police Company at a ceremony recognizing their yearlong mission to Kuwait. The unit performed theater customs operations to disrupt the flow of illegal drugs, contraband, and agricultural pests from the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility.
“I cannot say thank you enough to our men and women in uniform who have made incredible sacrifices for the greater good and for protecting liberty, not just here at home but around the world. Even though you were a continent away, we commend you for being a light in the dark,” said Senator Cramer. “I also thank Captain Johnson and Sergeant Gowan for their leadership and determination to achieve this mission. None of this would be possible without the sacrifices of our military spouses and families.”
The 191st Military Police Company, led by Captain Nathan Johnson and First Sergeant (ISG) Jeremy Gowan, is comprised of 153 soldiers from 35 communities throughout North Dakota, Minnesota, Kansas, Wisconsin, Montana, Florida, and South Dakota. The 191st Military Police Company’s Combat Support is part of the North Dakota Army National Guard and is headquartered in Fargo with a detachment located in Grand Forks.
