Established in the early 1940's as a training base. Later also as a POW camp.
In 1984, as part of the BRAC process, most of the Engineer School's operations were consolidated at Fort Leonard Wood.
As of 1999 Chemical Corps and MP Corps schools transferred to Fort Leonard Wood, which was then redesignated USAr Maneuver Support Center; later redesignated again Army Maneuver Support Center of Excellence (MSCOE).
