OohRah???

I really doubt that I will now see here anything I haven't read before; however, you are welcome to also post your information comments, whatever to my Gunny G's USMC OohRah Forum

I have been attempting to determine the origin of oohrah for some time now. Your attention is invited to the material already posted above.

I think that Hoo-Yah, or any of the other expression of gung-ho-ness by the military or paramilitary forces orginate all the way back to the Revolutionary War, maybe even further. Huzzah was the term used then.
