In military terms, "LZ" stands for "Landing Zone." It refers to a designated area where helicopters or aircraft can safely land and take off, typically used for troop deployments, supplies, or medical evacuations. The LZ is often marked and secured to ensure the safety of personnel during operations.

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.
