Đức Phổ Base Camp (also known as Đức Phổ Airfield, LZ Bronco, LZ Montezuma and Núi Đàng) is a former U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Army base in the Đức Phổ District, Quảng Ngãi Province Vietnam.

History

1966-71

The base was located along Highway 1 approximately midway between Da Nang and Qui Nhơn.^[1]

LZ Montezuma was originally established by the U.S Marine Corps' Task Force X-Ray and the 2nd Battalion 5th Marines and 3rd Battalion 7th Marines were based here until 1 April 1967 when they were replaced by the 1st Cavalry Division in Operation Lejeune.^[1]{{rp|5–341}}

The 1st Cavalry Division built a runway capable of landing de Havilland Canada C-7 Caribou aircraft at the base in early April.^[1]{{rp|5–341}} At the end of April the 1st Cavalry Division handed over the base to 3rd Brigade, 25th Infantry Division comprising:

1st Battalion, 14th Infantry^[2]
1st Battalion, 35th Infantry^[2]{{rp|148}}
2nd Battalion, 35th Infantry^[2]{{rp|148}}

Đức Phổ served as the base for the 101st Airborne Division from June–November 1967.^[2]{{rp|156}}

Other units stationed at Đức Phổ included:

2nd Battalion, 11th Artillery (April 1967-January 1968)^[2]{{rp|98}}
6th Battalion, 11th Artillery (December 1967-September 1971)^[2]{{rp|98}}
3rd Battalion, 1st Infantry (December 1967-June 1971)^[2]{{rp|136}}
198th Light Infantry Brigade (October–November 1967)^[2]{{rp|138}}

On 3 August 1967 a C-7 Caribou (#62-4161) on approach to Đức Phổ was hit by an outgoing 155mm shell which severed its tail section causing the aircraft to crash killing all 3 crewmen.^[3] The falling C-7 was photographed by Hiromichi Mine just before impact.^[4]

Current use

The base is abandoned and turned over to farmland, light industry and housing.
