From the air LZ Sharon looks like typical firebases all over Vietnam. SEA huts, a perimeter road and bunkers or watch towers along the perimeter. It has been the home, at one time or another, for most units of the 1/5. It was the home for 1/61 until they were assigned AO Orange as their permanent operations area.
Parts of Quang Tri City can be seen in the background and in the far distance the beginning of the South China Sea.
