Firebase Betty (also known as Currahee Base Camp, Landing Zone Betty or Phan Thiết) is a former U.S. Army and Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) firebase south of Phan Thiết in Bình Thuận Province, southern Vietnam.

History

The base was established at the French-era Phan Thiết airfield approximately 5 km southwest of Phan Thiết and 2 km east of Highway 1.[1]

5 November 1968

The first U.S. Army unit based here was the 2nd Battalion, 7th Cavalry from September 1966 to December 1967 as part of Operation Byrd.[2]

The 192nd Assault Helicopter Company was based here from October 1967 to January 1971.[2]: 122 

The 3rd Battalion, 506th Infantry was based here from February 1968 to December 1969 giving the base its alternative name of Currahee Base Camp.[2]: 159 

The 1st Battalion, 50th Infantry was based here from October 1969 to December 1970.[2]: 151 

Other U.S. Army units based here included:

On the morning of 25 February 1968 the base was hit by People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) mortar and rocket fire which exploded an ammunition bunker and was followed by a PAVN sapper attack. U.S. losses were three killed and 29 wounded and 21 PAVN killed and one captured[1]

On 24 April 1969 a Douglas DC-3 of Far Eastern Air Transport was damaged beyond repair while landing at the airfield.[3]

On 3 May 1970 a PAVN artillery and sapper attack on the base resulted in five U.S. killed and 25 wounded.[4]

Current use

The base is abandoned and has reverted to farmland and housing. The former airfield is now Truong Van Ly road.
