In 1970, Camp Eagle in Vietnam experienced a series of rocket attacks, with reports indicating that there were approximately 30 such incidents throughout the year. These attacks were part of the broader conflict during the Vietnam War, affecting U.S. military installations. The frequency and intensity of the attacks varied, contributing to the ongoing challenges faced by U.S. forces in the region.
See response above. Additional infor: Evans was a very big base; as was Camp Eagle located in the same AO. Any mortar/rocket attacks at those places with those weapons during those time frames would have been extremely minor in nature. Small firebases (aka LZ's) such as English, Oasis, Apache, Rifle, Vandergrift, Camp Carol, Mary Ann, Ripcord, A4, C2, Blackhawk, Action, Schueller, etc. etc. etc. THOSE are the ones that would've suffered, if hit. Some of THOSE firebases were tiny...a one hundred yard football field...although not necessarily shaped like a football field.
At lease 4 that I can remember being there in late 69 to 1970. One good one where they distroyed a bunch of Cobra gun ships and hueys. Not all the REMFers were drinking beer and watching movies. Life was easy compared to the grunts but no cake walk on Eagle.I was a wire rat.
