Camp Eagle

Camp Eagle was a US military base in Bosnia and Herzegovina, near Tuzla. Camp Eagle's construction began on January 14, 1996 and served as a base for US soldiers after the Bosnian War.[1] The base was in use to help aid the country of Bosnia after the war. Within Camp Eagle there were many things inside such as a workout facility, a chapel, a basketball court and a movie theater.[2] There was even a food court in the base that had Burger King as an option. The base was occupied up until 2004,[3] and in 2007 it was handed over to the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina.[4]
