Paratroopers brought in by hovering helicopter advance from jungle clearing into sporadic sniper fire near Thuong Lang, Vietnam, June 24, 1965. These members of the 2nd Battalion, 173rd Airborne, found they had landed smack in the center of a Viet Cong staging area. The Viet Cong had pulled out before the landing but enough snipers were left behind to harass the advancing Americans.
