Landing Zone Schueller (also known as LZ Road or FSB Schueller) is a former U.S. Army base west of An Khê District in central Vietnam.
History
The base was first established in 1965 by the 1st Cavalry Division, beside QL-19 and approximately 13 km west of An Khê near the Mang Yang Pass.{{cite book|last=Kelley|first=Michael|title=Where we were in Vietnam|publisher=Hellgate Press|year=2002|isbn=978-1555716257|page=460}} The base was originally named after 1LT James Schueller, from the 2nd Battalion, 17th Artillery who was killed in a Lockheed C-130 Hercules crash at Camp Radcliff on 17 June 1967.{{cite web|url=|title=James Patrick Schueller|publisher=The Virtual Wall}}
The base was later used by the 3rd Brigade, 4th Infantry Division.
On 10 April 1968 a People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) force estimated at 250 men attempted to block Route 19 and create an ambush west of Schueller. A booby-trapped artillery round was discovered on the road by MPs and when a bomb-disposal team arrived the ambush was triggered prematurely. A reaction force from the 1st Battalion, 69th Armor Regiment at Schueller was called forward and quickly overwhelmed the PAVN ambushers some of whom retreated to a nearby hill where they were assaulted by the 1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry. The engagement resulted in 1 U.S. and 40 PAVN killed.{{cite web|url=http://www.rjsmith.com/ivy_leaf_article.html|title=Ivy Leaf Article, 1st Bn 69th Armor|publisher=4th Infantry Division|date=5 May 1968|accessdate=18 November 2014}}
On the night of 21 January 1969 the 1st Battalion, 50th Infantry based at Schueller mounted a night ambush along Route 19 4 km west of Schueller killing 6 PAVN sappers who had been sabotaging the fuel pipeline beside Route 19.{{cite web|url=http://www.history.army.mil/documents/vietnam/vni/190.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090104032147/http://www.history.army.mil/documents/vietnam/vni/190.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 4, 2009|title=After Action Interview Report Ambush at the Dak Po 21-22 January 1969|publisher=U.S. Army|accessdate=18 November 2014}}
