Yankton's Military History Hails Back To Territory Days

Yankton organized the first militia in the area and has supported a great military tradition ever since. Many men and women from Yankton and the area have served their state and country. This article explains some of the history of the local units, the conflicts they were involved in and their ever changing names. Many other Yankton area men and women have also proudly served their country in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard. • January 27, 1862 — Company A of the Dakota Calvary Militia was formed in Yankton as a result of the Sioux Indian uprising. They assembled in different areas of town but helped to build a stockade at Third and Broadway to protect Dakota Territory citizens. Both Sioux Falls and Mitchell evacuated the entire cities to come to the territorial capital stockade for protection. (You can currently see the monument marking the location on the north lawn of the Yankton County courthouse). After all was calm in Yankton, A Company traveled west in the Dakota Territory as a Calvary while B Company was formed and stayed in Yankton. After three years, the units were disbanded. • 1889 — With the statehood of North and South Dakota, the Dakota Militia was split up. North Dakota got the 1st Regiment and South Dakota would get the 2nd Regiment, without ever having a 1st as a state. Yankton’s “South Dakota National Guard” would be called Company M, 2nd Regiment. They were alerted that year during the Ghost Dance War. (Between statehood and the turn of the century, militias were referred to as National Guard). • 1898 — U.S. declares war on Spain and approximately 1,500 troops from South Dakota experience intense combat near Manila in the Philippines. When they returned, they were all mustered out of the Army and South Dakota went virtually without a National Guard because of a lack of funding. Even though the state couldn’t fund the Guard, Company M stayed on in Yankton, drilling and training when they could. They townspeople helped them with whatever supplies they could. • March 1916 — Poncho Villa and 400 followers crossed the Mexican border into Texas and killed 21 Americans, nine of whom were soldiers. President Wilson called on the National Guard in June to patrol the border. M Company was one of the units that went to San Benito, Texas, for seven months. At this time, all of the South Dakota National Guard reported to service.
