★ Home of the 2nd Battalion, 150th Field Artillery★

The Indiana National Guard opened the newly modernized armory in Bloomington, Indiana in April 2026. The facility is home to the 2nd Battalion, 150th Field Artillery Regiment, a unit with a storied lineage dating back to 1882. Originally constructed in 1959, the $8.2 million renovation project added approximately 4,400 square feet of new space and modernized over 20,000 square feet of the existing facility.

In addition to providing state-of-the-art facilities to Guardsmen, the Bloomington Readiness Center is available to the community for rent for a variety of events, from business meetings to youth sports and receptions.

The 2nd Battalion, 150th Field Artillery Regiment traces its history to the 1st Regiment, Indiana Light Artillery, which was organized on November 22, 1882, with Col. Eli Lilly as the Chief of Artillery. The unit has served in numerous conflicts, including the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, and the Global War on Terrorism. Read News Release
