Camp Tigri or Camp Jaguar is a military camp and airstrip located in the Tigri Area. The area is disputed between Suriname and Guyana.
Camp Tigri was constructed in 1968 by the Surinamese Defence Police.[1] On 19 August 1969 there was a skirmish between the Defence Police and the Guyana Defence Force during which Camp Tigri was captured.[1] The camp was subsequently renamed to Camp Jaguar. It is located about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) north of the indigenous village of Kasuela.[2]
