Description: Although the history of the Montana National Guard is still being ì written as its members continue to serve around the globe, the ì seeds of this long-standing military organization germinated in ì 1867, when the teritory's acting governor organized a rag-tag ì militia force in response to widespread fear of impending Indian ì uprisings against the white population. It was a fiasco that cost ì the government dearly. Yet from that humble beginning arose a far ì more worthy band of soldiers, serving honorably during natural ì disasters, the Spanish-American War, the Mexican border crises, ì labor disputes, both World Wars, the Cold War, the Vietnam War, ì Desert Storm, and more.
