Vietnam U.S. Fire Base Layouts
I am planning on building a Diorama of a U.S. Army/Marine Fire Base under Attack by NVA forces. but I have little idea of the basic Layout plans for such a base. And I am hoping that the wonderful community here at GHQ can help me. I do understand that most Fire bases were probably built as needs necessitated. But I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
HOLY HELL! NED IT'S COMING RIGHT FOR US!!!

Hi,
Vietnam isn't really my 'specialty' (and there are experts on the forum), but the Osprey book, "Vietnam Firebases 1965-73: American and Australian Forces" is decent and is only $12.71 at amazon http://www.amazon.com/Vietnam-Firebases ... 174&sr=8-1
Please post pictures when you're done.
