Historical Note

Camp Atterbury was activated as a base for the U.S. Army on June 2, 1942. Four miles west ofEdinburgh, Indiana, the camp comprised just over 40,351 acres from land purchased from Bartholomew,Johnson, and Brown counties. It was named in honor of General William W. Atterbury, the Director ofTransportation of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) during World War I, and president of thePennsylvania Railroad.

During the Second World War, Camp Atterbury had 1,780 buildings providing housing to 44,159officers and troops, including 499 enlisted men barracks, 40 Bachelor Officer Quarters (BOQs), 23 WACbarracks, 61 prisoners-of-war (POW) barracks, 193 mess halls, 12 chapels, 5 service clubs, 3 officersclubs, 6 theaters, 4 gymnasiums, and 4 swimming pools. Wakeman General Hospital and a convalescent

center occupied 68 buildings occupying 80 acres on the base. The hospital treated more than 85,000patients during World War II, and was one of the U.S. Army's plastic surgery centers.

Over 275,000 soldiers trained at Camp Atterbury during World War II, including the 83rd InfantryDivision; 8th Detachment of Special Troops, 2nd Army; 365th Regimental Combat Team, 92ndInfantry Division; 30th Infantry Division; and 106th Infantry Division. Colonel Welton M. Modisetteserved as Post Commander of Camp Atterubry until June 13, 1945 and the 1560th Service CommandUnit, part of the 5th Service Command, staffed Camp Atterbury from 1942 to 1946.The base hosted astationed company from the Women's Army Corps (WAC) and around 38,000 women trained at CampAtterbury during the war. Many WACs went to Camp Atterbury to train for three to four months as x-ray,laboratory, surgical, medical, or dental technicians at the Enlisted Medical Technicians School, part ofWakeman General Hospital.

The Camp also served as an internment camp, housing between 12,000 and 15,000 Italian and Germanprisoners of war. The prisoners were housed in a large compound located on the extreme western edge ofcamp.

Following the end of World War II, Camp Atterbury was inactivated for the first time on July 31, 1946During the subsequent decades, the base was reactivated and inactivated as the United States' martialconflicts waxed and waned. The Indiana Military Academy moved from Fort Benjamin Harrison toCamp Atterbury in July 1965. The base became an Army National Guard Training Site on September1, 1976 and until the 1990s, the camp served to support the Indiana National Guard, providing supportthrough different conflicts. Today Camp Atterbury primarily provides military training and serves as amobilization site for the U.S. military.
