The Air Force compound where the old Russian tower is located on Bagram Air Field was officially renamed Camp Cunningham during a dedication ceremony March 4, 2004. A memorial and flag poles were erected next to the tower to commemorate the sacrifices made by pararescueman Senior Airman Jason Cunningham, who departed Bagram during Operation Anaconda March 4, 2002. Cunningham was killed later that day in the Battle of Takur Ghar, also known as the Battle of Robert's Ridge. Cunningham was posthumously awarded the Air Force Cross for his bravery.
