From http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Laager:
Quote:
laager: A defensive encampment encircled by armored vehicles or wagons.
[Alteration of obsolete Afrikaans lager, probably from German Lager, camp, lair, from Middle High German leger, bed, lair, from Old High German legar; see legh- in Indo-European roots.]

My English-Dutch Van Dale dictionary gives three possibilities for spelling: laager, lager, leaguer....
HTH,
Hanno
