Where does the word Gung Ho
originate and how did it become
part of the English language?
       REAGAN                                 FAMILY OF COMPANIES




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
