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.

What is a hot LZ?

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.
