Cavalier North Dakota is the county seat of Pembina County and sits near the Pembina border crossing with Canada. The area is in the Red River Valley agricultural region and experiences severe winter blizzards. Cavalier is near the Stanley R. Mickelsen Safeguard Complex — an abandoned anti-ballistic missile site that represents the only operational ABM deployment in US history before being decommissioned. The remote agricultural county has limited emergency response infrastructure.
