Fire Base Eagle Vietnam was a military base located in Altoona, Pennsylvania. It was established in 1967 during the Vietnam War as a training facility for soldiers before they were deployed to Vietnam. The base was named after the 101st Airborne Division, also known as the "Screaming Eagles," who were stationed there during their training.

Fire Base Eagle Vietnam housed a variety of training facilities, including a firing range, obstacle course, and helicopter landing zone. Soldiers would undergo rigorous physical and tactical training to prepare for combat in Vietnam. The base also had barracks for soldiers to live in during their training.

In addition to its role as a training facility, Fire Base Eagle Vietnam also served as a hub for military operations during the Vietnam War. It was used as a staging area for troops and supplies before they were sent to Vietnam. The base also provided support for troops in Vietnam, such as medical care and logistics.

After the Vietnam War ended, Fire Base Eagle Vietnam was decommissioned and the land was returned to civilian use. Today, the site is a private industrial park, and there are no remaining structures or memorials to commemorate its military past.
