Vietnam War: GIs of the 3rd Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, launch into a rock session while surrounded wooden bunkers, helicopter and sandbags, in July 1970. The soldiers were dug in at Firebase Kathryn on a hill south of the DMZ Photograph: Giancarlo Meyer/AP [1912 x 1284]
"Wooden bunkers." Nope, those are wooden artillery ammunition crates filled with earth and stacked like bricks on the outside of the bunkers. Their purpose is to stop bullets or shrapnel.
​
Now, about one-third up and to the far left of those wooden crates; an open semi-circular object next to an antenna. The material is one-half of a steel culvert being used as overhead cover for protection from both the sun and shrapnel (air bursts. That close to the DMZ there was NVA artillery to deal with).
​
Sitting on the chopper pad is a UH-1 "Slick," a troop carrying helicopter.
