NOV 14-16, 2025
[REDACTED] is a Military Simulation experience that will challenge you and force you outside of your comfort zone. Join us NOV 14-16 as we return to Searcy. We have partnered with the Alabama Mental Health Department to utilize the Mount Vernon Arsenal - Searcy Hospital in southern Alabama to promote our motto of "GET KINETIC". Two factions will engage in a series of battles over a 3 day period on an AO that is rich in history and dates back to the civil war.
The Mount Vernon Arsenal was established by the United States Army near the Mobile River, three miles west of Fort Stoddert, and approximately 30 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico. Along with the Kennebec Arsenal in Augusta, Maine, it is one of the most complete antebellum arsenals surviving to the present day. Established in 1828 as an ordnance manufacturing base, the Mount Vernon Arsenal served as one of the U.S. Army's main ammunition plants from its inception until the Civil War.
In 1900, the Alabama Legislature established a mental health facility on the former site of the Mount Vernon Arsenal to relieve overcrowding at Bryce Hospital in Tuscaloosa. The new facility was named the Mount Vernon Insane Hospital upon its opening in 1902 but was renamed Searcy Hospital in 1919, in honor of Dr. J. T. Searcy, the first superintendent. Searcy Hospital was a state-owned and operated psychiatric hospital and closed permanently on October 31, 2012
