@Peschke I am echoing$server[0]after my initial edit. The first was a typo. I am just trying to use a variable that I declared inside thecasestatement from outside the case statement.

You set location to the string ColocationOne:
#!/bin/bash
location=ColocationOne
case $location in
ColocationOne)
# Define MOSES LAKE workerarray
server[0]=serverone
server[1]=servertwo
# or: server=( serverone servertwo )
esac
echo "$server[0]"
This script would print serverone.

yes you are correct. My actual script has the quotes. My actual script referenced server[1]. My actual script had server[1] commented out. stone212 is very tired. Thank you.
