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.

That's right. They do 'huzzahs' in the movie "Glory".

Ooh-rah's were in full force in 1973 when I went through PI.
