Camp Eggers was a U.S. military installation located in Kabul, the capital city of Afghanistan. It served as the headquarters for the NATO Training Mission – Afghanistan (NTM-A) and the Combined Security Transition Command – Afghanistan (CSTC-A). The camp was named in honor of U.S. Army Captain Daniel W. Eggers, who was killed in action during Operation Enduring Freedom in 2004.
Situated near the U.S. Embassy in the heart of Kabul, Camp Eggers was a critical base for overseeing and supporting the training, mentoring, and advising of Afghan security forces. It played a central role in the efforts to develop the capabilities of the Afghan National Army (ANA) and Afghan National Police (ANP).
The units assigned to Camp Eggers included personnel from various nations participating in the NATO-led mission in Afghanistan. This multinational presence demonstrated the international commitment to assisting Afghanistan in building its security institutions.
The facilities at Camp Eggers included administrative buildings, training facilities, living quarters, dining facilities, and recreational areas for the military personnel and civilian advisors stationed there. The camp provided the necessary infrastructure to support the mission of training and mentoring Afghan security forces.
Camp Eggers was a symbol of the international community’s commitment to supporting Afghanistan’s security and stability. It facilitated the coordination and collaboration between Afghan and international military and civilian entities, promoting the long-term development of Afghan security institutions.
In 2014, as part of the NATO transition and drawdown from Afghanistan, Camp Eggers was closed, and responsibility for training and advising Afghan security forces was shifted to other locations. The legacy of Camp Eggers remains a testament to the international community’s support for Afghanistan’s security sector reform.
