Camp Julien was the main base for the Canadian contingent of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Kabul, Afghanistan.

The camp was named after Lance Corporal George Patrick Julien, a Canadian Army soldier who was awarded the Military Medal as a Private, for his actions at Hill 187 in Korea in May 1953.

The Canadian workers supervised, and completed tasks in office, warehouse, laundry, maintenance, utilities, cleaning service and food preparation settings.

This was the Canadian military's first large-scale camp which was largely run by a third-party independent contractor, in this case SNC Lavalin PAE.

It was a multinational organization that ran a week-long course designed to teach military leaders the basics of counterinsurgency operations.
