If you were there two years ago you would have seen the sign (now replaced with an IRISHPOLBATT sign) beside the unloading bay saying 'Welcome To Camp Shamrock'.

UNP 2-45 is the current Camp Shamrock since 2012. It's the fourth Camp Shamrock.
6-52 is the Irish manned outpost.

An interesting read here on the increased use of Combat drones and loitering munitions, and the inability of the DF overseas to deal with it.
‘Groundhog’ or ‘Sitting Duck’? Why the Defence Forces need strong countermeasures against uncrewed and autonomous aerial vehicles — Part 1 | by Irish Defence Forces Officers’ Club | Aug, 2021 | Medium
In five, 10, 15 years’ time we can expect Irish peacekeepers to find themselves in situations where they are pinned down not only by artillery crossfire, but also by combat drones and loitering munitions. Therefore, it is essential that the Defence Forces have the capabilities to detect, identify, counter and protect against such emerging threats.
