Firebase Currahee (also known as LZ Currahee) is a former U.S. Army firebase in the A Sầu Valley southwest of Huế in central Vietnam.
History
The base was established along the floor of the A Sầu Valley, 43 km southwest of Huế near the intersection of Route 547 and Route 548.[1]
The base was first established by the 101st Airborne Division in May 1969 to support Operation Apache Snow.
From 8 June 1969, the 3rd Brigade, 101st Airborne conducted Operation Montgomery Rendezvous with the 2nd Battalion, 319th Artillery at Currahee providing fire support. On 15 June, a People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) force attacked the base and was repelled with the loss of 54 PAVN killed and 5 U.S. wounded. On 17 June, PAVN mortars hit the base wounding 10 U.S. soldiers.
Current use
The base has reverted to farmland.
