It depends on the mission requirements - either Marine Force Recon units or Navy SEAL Teams can be sent ahead into enemy territory in advance of any main attack force. For amphibious operations, the beach landing and other assault zones are typically prepared by Naval and Marine Corps fighter/bomber / Helo attacks and missiles to clear out any "problem" areas prior to ground forces in numbers being introduced along with armored units.
Since the Navy and Marines are under the Department of the Navy, historically the lines of battle in certain areas have been blurred. However, when it comes to amphibious landings, Navy Coaxswains pilot landing craft with Marines if necessary, and Marine ground units take the offensive from there. In general, the Marines do have their own support forces, but the close cooperation between the two services essentially means that neither goes to battle without the other in some form when it is a combined strike operation. Even when the battle is strictly land based and the Marines got there by air transport, Marine medics are Navy Corpsman, so the Navy is present.

Relationships between the navy and the marine corps?
The Marines were added as a 'ground unit' to the Naval Department, the USMC started in tun tavern, and added as part of the navy because of their oceanic and naval roots. Long standing joke between the two is that a Navy guy will always say that the Marines are a department of the navy and the Marine will say back, "Yes we are, the men's department". To answer your question today, Marines go on 'floats' on naval ships, and the medical staff on marine bases are always naval, whereas the air force and army have their own medical staffs. Although Marines and Navy cats get in fights all the time in bars and around town, they will still cover each other's backs from outsiders because deep down you're still brothers. Love-hate relationship.
