WE LCOME
CAMP ATTERBURY and Muscatatuck
Urban training Complex
W elcome to Camp Atterbury-Muscatatuck Center for Complex Operations. Greetings from the men and women
who serve here, those who have gone before us and whose legacy we strive to preserve and enhance. Our
heritage is rich with service to our nation. Our future is remarkably promising with new opportunities to support our
state and nation.
Designated as a Combined Arms Collective Training Facility, our mission is designed to provide individual to brigade-
level, home station, urban operations training and soldier or civilian readiness processing under the garrison opera-
tions command supported by the Installation Support Unit, Indiana National Guard, as well as serve as a mobilization
and training site for multi-service components of the department of defense under the command of the 1st U.S.
Army Division East.
Our unique training facilities offer military units and agencies from the local, state and federal govern-
ments, as well as private agencies or educational institutions to train military or civilian person-
nel on a variety of individual or collective tasks. This includes training such as building
entry and room clearing techniques under live or blank-firing conditions or an assortment
of cultural training intended to create a realistic operating environment relevant to
today’s missions. These tasks are performed in subterranean environment large
enough to conduct combined arms force-on-force collective training at the unit/
task force level and are possible at both Camp Atterbury and Muscatatuck.
The critical duty to serve as a training site for public service organizations all across
the nation such as state or federal department’s of homeland security or homeland
defense, state or local police and fire stations or other emergency responders is a
lasting mission that Camp Atterbury takes great pride in. This is one of the longest

agencies.
A key focus of the concept for our customers is the live fire ranges at Atterbury and the urban training facilities at
both locations. These ranges consist of small arms to A-10 Thunderbolt aerial gunnery tables, more than 33,000
acres of maneuver training area and dozens of artillery and mortar firing points. Plus 1,000 acres of the living, breath-
ing city environment better known as the “urban training center” at Muscatatuck. All our ranges are of high-quality
and known all across the nation’s military and government organizations.
From computerized small arms, squad and platoon maneuver courses, to a 1,200 acre Bradley and tank range, our
modern, state-of-the-art range complexes are among the best in the nation. Coupled with a high-tech multi-building
Joint Simulation Training and Exercise Center, numerous other state-of-the-art training aids and simulation equip-
ment, as well as housing and headquarters facilities, Atterbury and Muscatatuck can support full spectrum opera-
tions, integrated live, virtual, and constructive training events for units of all sizes.
There are many historical places to visit at or near Camp Atterbury and Muscatatuck. When here, please take time
to visit our indoor museum, veteran’s memorial park and the World War II Prisoner of War Chapel. Enjoy our morale,
welfare and recreational activities both on base and off to include the post’s swimming pool, physical fitness centers,

CAMP ATTERBURY – MUSCATATUCK CENTER FOR COMPLEX OPERATIONS (CA-MCCO)
AL INFORMATION
THE VISION
letter
The vision of the Camp Atterbury–Muscatatuck Center for Complex Operations(CA-
MCCO) is to provide the nation the most realistic, fiscally responsible, contemporary
operating environment possible in which to mobilize and train the whole of gov-
ernment/whole of nation team to accomplish missions directed toward protect-
ing the homeland and winning the peace; provide to that team responsible reach
back capability once deployed; and support the conduct of operational testing and
welcome
evaluation for technologies that support those missions. Brigadier General Omer
“Clif” Tooley, Jr. is the Assistant Adjutant General of the Indiana National Guard
with duty as the Commanding General, CA-MCCO.He is responsible for guiding the
development of the Camp Atterbury Joint Maneuver Training Center, including the
ARRIV
Muscatatuck Complex, into a platform for the whole of government/whole of nation
team to meet the national security requirements of the 21st Century.
CA-MCCO is the integrating headquarters and business office for the Atterbury-
Muscatatuck Complex. Its mission focuses on providing the nation with the best
possible site to mobilize and train the whole of government team while simultane-
ously supporting the conduct of operational testing and evaluation of technologies.
CA-MCCO is founded on innovation, partnerships and utilization of best practices.
BG TOOLEY
Not Business As Usual . . .
CA-MCCO employs a network effect business model. Similar to an integrated telephone system; the more customers in the net-
work, the lower the costs to each customer. The network effect operating model offers value to our customers in several ways
(1) highly realistic training at the best possible price, (2) a team of equals approach, and (3) retention of program integrity by the
individual agency. Atterbury – Muscatatauck levels the playing field and provides readiness at best value. The business plan is one
in which the partners contribute something of value to make the whole greater than the sum of the parts. Therefore, agencies,
of all kinds, gain not only from their own contributions but also receive complimentary benefits from the contributions of others.
Unlimited Opportunities . . .
The notion of sharing may be unique in some business circles, but CA-MCCO’s commitment to the people working to protect our
homeland and defend the peace override traditional business practices. The Atterbury –Muscatatuck Team models the behavior
necessary to respond in times of crisis with the intent that the customers demonstrate similar behavior in theatre; the moments
of learning are contained in the forgiving training environment before trainees are required to assimilate to their integrated team.
CA-MCCO invites agencies and individuals with new ideas to contact our business office. If you agree with the philosophy that
“by contributing some, we all benefit,” this may be where your program or research can flourish.
Civilian Programs
In early 2009, several national initiatives modified the fabric of the national security and stabilization goals in the Middle East.
This new way forward requires a significant increase in civilian resources and better civil-military coordination by US Government
agencies and the international community. The Atterbury- Muscatatuck Complex is proud to be part of the platform supporting
the integrated team by hosting three distinct training programs and providing for civilian deployment processing.
Department of State Integrated Civ-Mil Training Program: Every month, civilians from The DoS, USDA, USAID and other civilian
agencies travel from the Foreign Service Institute classroom to the Atterbury-Muscatatuck Complex where they engage in a
field training program. The students are afforded a working environment that simulates the environment where they are bound
for interagency duty. They live on a forward operating base, communicate through interpreters, and travel by military convoy
and helicopter for meetings with their Afghan counterparts, played by domestic role-players. They plan, implement, review and
evaluate their missions alongside US military personnel. They are required to collect information, build relationships and negotiate
sensitive situations with Afghan leaders and villagers, while at the same time navigating their relationships with interpreters and
security forces. The security forces are service members, also in training, learning how to operate in the integrated environment.

HISTORY
H I STORY
CAMP ATTERBURY and Muscatatuck
Urban training complex
W ith war clouds looming over the world, land surveys were conducted across three counties in
southern Indiana in the late 30s. In April of 1941, the War Department announced plans to build
an installation consisting of 40,351 acres spanning parts of Johnson, Brown, and Bartholomew coun-
ties. Two towns, Kansas and Mount Pisgah, disappeared, and 500 to 600 farm families were relocated
in order to accommodate the construction, which started in February of 1942. By August, 1,780
buildings had been erected at a cost of $38 million. Operations had begun in June, and the first of over
275,000 troops who would train at the camp over the course of WWII arrived. On August 15, the 83rd
Infantry Division, under the command of Major General Frank Milburn, a native of Jasper, Indiana was
activated in a ceremony witnessed by more than 25,000 residents of the state, who had been invited
to attend, and inspect the new installation.
