Kokolo Military Camp

Lieutenant-Colonel Kokolo Camp (French: Camp militaire Lieutenant-Colonel Kokolo), often shortened as Kokolo Military Camp (Camp militaire Kokolo) or Kokolo Camp, is one of the main military installations of the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (FARDC), located in the Kokolo quartier of Bandalungwa, Kinshasa. The camp is bounded to the north by Sergeant Moke and Haumba avenues, to the south by Kasa-Vubu Avenue, to the east by a public road and the Makusa quartier, and to the west by Pierre Mulele Avenue. Covering an area of approximately 161 hectares, excluding the Monganga, Kalicack, Music School, and logistics base zones, it serves as a major logistical, residential, and training center, as well as housing military personnel and their families.

Established during the Belgian colonial period and constructed in 1924, the camp was initially known as Camp Léopold II before being renamed in 1960 following Congolese independence in honor of Lieutenant Colonel Kokolo. Its legal status was later clarified in the post-Mobutu Sese Seko period through Ministerial Decree No. 0035/90 of 29 August 1999, which formally established the camp's concession within the Funa (Bandalungwa) and Lukunga (Gombe) land jurisdictions.
