Camp Eggers

Camp Eggers was a United States military base in Kabul, Afghanistan, located near the US Embassy and the Afghan Presidential Palace. The camp was named after Captain Daniel W. Eggers, a US soldier from the 1st Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne), Fort Bragg, North Carolina, who was killed by an improvised explosive device (IED) along with three other soldiers on 29 May 2004 near Kandahar. Camp Eggers closed in 2015 as a part of the partial withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan (2011–2016).[1]
