Camp Dwyer

Camp Dwyer in Afghanistan is a military base and air field of the United States Marine Corps. It is in the Helmand River Valley in the Garmsir District. It was previously designated a forward operating base, but was significantly expanded in 2009 and the name changed to Camp Dwyer for British Lance Bombardier James Dwyer (1984-2006), of 29 Commando Regiment, Royal Artillery, who was killed on Wednesday, 27 December 2006, aged 22, when the vehicle he was driving struck an anti-tank mine while on a patrol in southern Helmand Province.
