description: "Evans Fordyce Carlson was a United States Marine Corps officer who led \"Carlson's Raiders\" during World War II. Many credit Carlson with developing the tactics and attitude that would later come to define America's special operations forces. He is renowned for the \"Makin Island raid\" in 1942, and his raiders' \"Long Patrol\" behind Japanese lines on Guadalcanal, in which 488 Japanese were killed. Carlson popularized the phrase \"gung-ho\"."
