As governor and commander-in-chief of the North Dakota National Guard, Burgum has worked to make North Dakota a more military-friendly state. The governor advocated for and signed legislation to exempt military retirement pay from state income tax and to provide occupational license reciprocity for trailing spouses of military personnel. Burgum also formed the Task Force for Veterans Affairs to assess the current system for supporting military veterans and ensure current resources are best positioned to support them.
