In 2009, North Dakota experienced a number of the worst flood in state history. This case describes the way the National Guard reacted by moving in its servicemen and coordinating with personnel from 6 different states together with an array of federal, state, and local stakeholders. Specifically, after supplying background on the North Dakota national guard and also the state's susceptibility to flooding, the case captures how guard officials developed and practiced a strategy ("operation rollback water") to respond to the floods and how they then needed to accommodate that strategy as the crisis escalated and conditions transformed. In particular, the guard needed to work with a large amount of national resources that arrived amid the disaster, it had to respond to demands for wide-ranging and rapid help from a range of municipalities, and it had to endure a prolonged event that taxed guard members in the field as well as the operations and management team that supported them. The case concludes with an epilogue that describes the way the guard employed the lessons it learned from the 2009 flooding in response to a similar calamity in 2011.
