Đức Cơ is a rural district of Gia Lai province in the Central Highlands region of Vietnam.
During the Vietnam War, the battle of Đức Cơ was the most important event of the Republic of Vietnam Marine Division, who won a resounding: "Delayed in Bình Giã so we did not back down ; The hard victory made us deserve to be volunteers for death ; Our people were happy to welcome the victory of Đức Cơ" (Lừng danh Bình Giã chúng ta không hề lùi bước ; Chiến thắng phong sương xứng danh là cảm tử quân ; Đồng bào mừng vui đón chào chiến thắng Đức Cơ) -- March of the Marine Division, "Maybe I will return from the victory of Pleime ; Or Đức Cơ, or Đồng Xoài, or Bình Giã?"
(Anh trở lại, có thể bằng chiến thắng Pleime ; Hay Ðức Cơ, Ðồng Xoài, Bình Giã?)
-- by Linh Phương's poem in 1971 and Phạm Duy's song in 1972, Man Who Entered The War History (Người vào chiến sử) by Anh Việt Thu, The Man Stayed At Charlie (Người ở lại Charlie) by Trần Thiện Thanh.
