History

The Muscatatuck Urban Training Center is located on the grounds of the former Muscatatuck State Developmental Center (MSDC).{{cite web |title=What is MUTC? |url=http://www.mutc.in.ng.mil |accessdate=17 January 2011 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110903121909/http://www.mutc.in.ng.mil/ |archivedate=3 September 2011 }} MSDC was created in 1920 as the Indiana Farm Colony for the Feeble-Minded.{{cite news |last=Schneider |first=Rob |title=State now prefers community settings |date=20 April 2003 |publisher=Indianapolis Star |url=http://www.arcrehab.org/State%20now%20prefers%20community%20settings.htm |accessdate=17 January 2011 |url-status=bot: unknown |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110904072321/http://www.arcrehab.org/State%20now%20prefers%20community%20settings.htm |archivedate=4 September 2011 }} It became one of Indiana's largest mental institutions approximately 3,000 patients and around 2,000 employees.{{cite web |url=http://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/archive/2010/June/Pages/PsychiatricInstitutionUrbanTrainingGround.aspx |title=Mental Hospital History |publisher=National Defense Magazine |accessdate= March 20, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110113194716/http://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/archive/2010/June/Pages/PsychiatricInstitutionUrbanTrainingGround.aspx |archive-date= January 13, 2011}} From 1920 through 2005, MSDC housed many of Indiana's challenged citizens and was once the largest employer in Jennings County.{{cite web |title=History |url=http://www.mutc.in.ng.mil/ABOUT/History/tabid/1112/Default.aspx |accessdate=17 January 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110311003640/http://www.mutc.in.ng.mil/ABOUT/History/tabid/1112/Default.aspx |archive-date=11 March 2011 |url-status=dead }} 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. Governor Mitch Daniels passed control of the facility to the Indiana National Guard in July 2005. 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.{{cite web | url = http://www.kilkennypeople.ie/news/kilkenny-news/65575/Computer-genius-from-Kilkenny-briefs-top.html | title = Computer genius from Kilkenny briefs top US Army Officials
