Bien Hoa Air Base, Military air base in Đồng Nai, Vietnam.
Bien Hoa Air Base is a military installation located in Bien Hoa city within Đồng Nai Province, situated north of Ho Chi Minh City. The base encompasses multiple operational areas including runways, hangars, and support facilities spread across the urban landscape.
The installation served as a key operations center for United States forces during the Vietnam War between 1965 and 1975, conducting extensive military campaigns. After the conflict ended, the facility passed to Vietnamese control and continues to function as an active military airfield.
The base preserves structures and memorials from military operations by the United States, Australia, and New Zealand, showing how different nations shaped this location. These remnants tell the story of shared military presence across several decades.
The site functions as an active military facility with restricted public access due to its security status. Visitors should inquire in advance about accessible areas or whether special permissions are needed.
The facility has undergone extensive remediation efforts since 2019 to address contamination from wartime operations, a long-term process still ongoing. These cleanup initiatives reflect continuing efforts to heal from the war's environmental legacy.
