Aloha Jigpoha (1945)

[compiled by Robert D. Thornton]. Aloha Jigpoha is the songbook of
the Navy linguists during WWII. Jigpoha is an intentional corruption
of JICPOA (Joint Intelligence Center Pacific Operation Area).
It was a translation, interpretation, intelligence office within
Nimitz's Commander In Chief Pacific (CINCPAC). Between 1942 and 1945,
the Navy and Marine Japanese Language Officers in JICPOA (trained in
Navy Japanese Language Schools located in Tokyo [1910-1940], Berkeley
and Harvard [1941-42], Boulder [1942-1945] and Stillwater [1945-46])
translated and interpreted captured enemy documents and intercepted
radio traffic, and interrogated Japanese POWs. These linguists
frequently were sent out with the fleets as part of invasion forces
and to translate aboard carriers and flagships.
