Tested November 2026 · printed with the search shown
The test and its result: Wartime counties of this region held camps — South Bend's record carries Camp Rose and the rendezvous and recruiting grounds of three wars, and the state's map is dotted with training grounds, encampments and prisoner-of-war branch camps. Mishawaka was tested for the same footprint, by name and by type: searches run in November 2026 for a camp, encampment, training ground, rendezvous, induction or separation center, and prisoner-of-war or internment site on Mishawaka ground returned nothing military at all — the "camps" of the Mishawaka record are its summer camps, its campground and its day camps, in the Parks and family records where they belong. The county histories and the histories of the wars in the Wars record name no Mishawaka camp; no installation of the kind appears in the Army's Indiana listings of any era reached. The negative is printed at the strength of that search: no wartime camp or training installation is documented on Mishawaka ground, and the temporary military geography of the county — like its armory, its battalion headquarters and its reserve center — stood in South Bend.
