Established in 1919 and officially opened to the public in 1924, to exhibit captured enemy equipment and materiel, the Museum was located in Building 314 of the Aberdeen Proving Ground and operated by the U.S. Army until 1967.
In 2005 a Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) law was passed by Congress.
