Gung Ho!

• Answer to question
• Gung Ho Gung He This unofficial motto of the
  US Marine Corps is an abbreviation for the
  Mandarin Gongye Hezhoushe, or industrial
  cooperative.
• The term was used in China, starting in 1938,
  to refer to small, industrial operations that
  were being established in rural China to replace
  the industrial centers that had been captured by
  the Japanese.
• The phrase was clipped to the initial
  characters of the two words, gung ho (or gung
  he, as it would be transliterated today), which
  means "work together." This clipping became a
  slogan for the industrial cooperative movement.
• So the term "Gung Ho

• Answer to question 1 (continued)
• Enter Lt. Col. Evans Carlson, US Marine Corps.
  Carlson was a military attaché' in the US embassy
  to China in the late-30s. In China, Carlson
  reported on both the operations of the Chinese
  army in the field as well as the country's
  industrial capacity and was favorably impressed
  by the industrial cooperatives.
• When he returned to the States and the US entered
  WWII, Carlson was appointed commander of the 2nd
  Marine Raider Battalion. Recalling his time in
  China, Carlson chose gung ho as the motto for his
  elite battalion and by late 1942 was widely
  adopted throughout the Marine Corps as an
  expression of spirit and "can do" attitude.
• So the term "Gung Ho
