USAF Fact sheet: "A vast majority of the Airmen assigned to Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, live on a compound named Camp Cunningham. The camp is named after Pararescueman Senior Airman Jason D. Cunningham, who gave his life in Afghanistan while saving 10 lives and making it possible for seven others who were killed to come home. He was posthumously awarded the Air Force Cross Sept. 13, 2002, which is awarded for extraordinary heroism while engaged in action against an enemy of our nation. It is second only to the Medal of Honor. Cunningham was a Carlsbad, N.M., native, and joined the Air Force's elite combat rescue program and graduated pararescue technical training in June 2001. He deployed to Southwest Asia in February 2002."
