History

The Muscatatuck Urban Training Center is located on the grounds of the former Muscatatuck State Developmental Center (MSDC).[6] MSDC was created in 1920 as the Indiana Farm Colony for the Feeble-Minded.[7] It became one of Indiana's largest mental institutions approximately 3,000 patients and around 2,000 employees.[8] From 1920 through 2005, MSDC housed many of Indiana's challenged citizens and was once the largest employer in Jennings County.[9] In 1997, Indiana lawmakers passed a plan to reorganize the state's health plan. Modern antipsychotics shrank its patient population down to about 1,200, and in 2001, Governor Frank O'Bannon announced that the state would close Muscatatuck.[7] Governor Mitch Daniels passed control of the facility to the Indiana National Guard in July 2005.[9] In 2015, computer security expert Walter O'Brien presented ScenGen and other artificial intelligence technology, deployed at Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, to SOCOM at Muscatatuck.[10]
