Already answered this question, but didn't define the "LZ" part. LZ=Landing Zone.
68 KM
During the Vietnam War, LZ stood for Landing Zone. Within weeks or months many of those Landing Zones became firebases. Consequently, one might hear the words, "LZ Blackhawk or LZ Rifle"...when referring to Firebase Blackhawk or Firebase Rifle. The LZ's were for designated helicopter landings originally.
Unless you know a man that was actually there; your best source will be: "Where We Were In Vietnam: A Comprehensive Guide To The Firebases, Military Installations And Naval Vessels Of The Vietnam War (1945-1975)" by Michael P. Kelley; 2002-ISBN 978-1555-7162-57 Be advised; that in South Vietnam...some Firebases were actually LZ's (Landing Zones) at one time and were frequently referred to as either firebases or LZ's. In another words, if someone were to say "LZ Action" or "LZ Blackhawk", those two were actually firebases...Firebase Action and Firebase Blackhawk (both were located in the Highlands). Blackhawk had a 175mm gun emplaced there, and Action had a battery of 105mm field pieces positioned within it's perimeter.
A hot lz is a military term for a landing zone (hence LZ) that is under heavy fire. It was used many times in Vietnam due to the constant in and out of helicopters. During a "hot" LZ, the landing zone was under too much fire for a helicopter to land, so the soldiers must jump out of the helicopter in stead of it landing. The helicopter never touches the ground for the purpose of getting in and out as fast as possible.
