A photograph taken on February 4, 1966, shows a fortified cave and bunker on Nui Coa Mountain in Vietnam. The cave served as a political indoctrination camp for the Viet Cong, where more than 60 villagers were detained at a time. The captors would hold the villagers until they felt complete indoctrination had been achieved. This image was taken by SSgt. K. Kelly and is part of the Photographs of American Military Activities during the Vietnam War collection.
