Improvised Bunker Made of Ammunition Crates with Hand-Lettered Signs, Dak To Staging Area

Soldiers stand at the entrance of an improvised bunker built from stacked ammunition crates at a staging area near Dak To, South Vietnam. Hand-lettered signs reading "Welcome U.S. Maureens" and "Welcome to the Dak To Officers Club" reflect the informal humor troops used to boost morale while preparing for operations such as Operation Tailwind in September 1970.
