Camp four is one of the camps that make up the complex of camps for captives held in extrajudicial detention in the United States' Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba.[1][page needed]

Camp authorities only allowed the captives they considered "compliant" to stay in camp four.[1][page needed]

Incident at Camp IV

On May 19, 2006 a skirmish took place in Bay 1, Zulu Block (building) of Camp IV. A ten-person "quick reaction force" entered bay 1 in response to a possible suicide attempt. A skuffle ensued for about five minutes between the team and the occupants, which escalated to the use of tear gas, non-lethal bullets, and "bean bags" against light fixtures and fan blades. Six occupants were treated for minor injuries.[2]
