Captured Enemy Jungle Shelter, Operation Tailwind, Laos, September 1970 — Gene McCarley Collection
A camouflaged jungle shelter, likely part of a North Vietnamese Army base camp along the Ho Chi Minh Trail, discovered during Operation Tailwind — the September 1970 MACV-SOG raid into Laos. A member of the American-led Hatchet Force stands watch nearby, his rucksack loaded for extended operations deep in hostile territory. Project: 219454
