Below is a brief overview of Wunder Beach and Camp Evans. For more in-depth information, I recommend conducting further research or internet searches regarding LZ Betty, LZ Jane, LZ Sharon, and LZ Sally (also known as Fire Bases). The individuals who served at these LZs can provide firsthand accounts that offer a more detailed and personal perspective than I can provide here.Wunder Beach - also known as Landing Zone Wunder, was a coastal supply and support base used by the United States Marine Corps, US Army and US Special Forces during the Vietnam War. It was located in Quảng Trị Province, near the border between North and South Vietnam.
The base was established in 1966 and served as a logistics hub, supporting Marine operations in the region. It was used to offload supplies and equipment brought in by ship and then transport them inland to other bases and units. Wunder Beach was also used as a rest and recreation area for Marines, providing a brief respite from the rigors of combat.
Wunder Beach was situated in a heavily contested area, and the base came under frequent attacks from North Vietnamese forces. Despite the challenges, the Marines were able to maintain and defend the base throughout much of the war.
The base was eventually dismantled and abandoned as part of the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam in the early 1970s. Today, Wunder Beach is a quiet coastal area, with little remaining evidence of its military past.
Camp Evans was a U.S. Army base located near the city of Huế in Thừa Thiên-Huế Province, Vietnam. It was a major military installation during the Vietnam War, serving as a logistical and communications hub for American forces in the region.
The base was named after Major General Clarence R. Huebner, who was known by his nickname "Evans." Camp Evans was situated near the Perfume River and was used to support military operations in the area, including the defense of Huế during the Tet Offensive in 1968.
Camp Evans was home to various units including US Special Forces, 101st Airborne, signal and communications units, as well as other infantry and artillery units. The base had airstrips, helipads, and storage facilities for supplies and equipment.
Like many military bases in Vietnam, Camp Evans was subjected to frequent attacks by North Vietnamese forces. The base came under mortar and rocket fire, as well as ground attacks. Despite these challenges, the base remained operational throughout much of the war.
After the war, Camp Evans was abandoned, and the land was returned to civilian use. Today, the area where Camp Evans once stood is a quiet rural area, with little remaining evidence of its military past.
