There were only six divisions of US Marines, all of which fought in the Pacific. There were also fifteen or more US Army divisions which fought in the Pacific, plus the air force during the war was the US Army Air Force. There were no Marines fighting in New Guinea or the Philippines, and there were army troops present at Guadalcanal, the Marianas and Okinawa. The Marines did a magnificent job, and the Marine Corps PR office perhaps even exceeded this effort in publicizing the "all Marine" operations, such as Tarawa, Peleliu and Iwo Jima. But, just like in WWI, about five percent of US combat troops were Marines, but the publicity they got was many multiples higher. There should be no doubt which service killed more Japanese soldiers (not to mention all the Germans and Italians).
