Soldiers at a base near Pleiku, 1967

Soldiers from 3rd Battalion, 8th Infantry, 4th Infantry Division sit atop a bunker at their headquarters and fire base near Pleiku in South Vietnam's Central Highlands. "There was nothing but trees here when we first earmarked the site," said Capt. Terence M. Bell, Delta Company's commander. "It took three tons of explosives to clear the base, and we still have much clearing to do."
