Who was the Marine Corps units awarded by the French?
The 5th and 6th Marine Regiments.
Which two Marine regiments are authorized to wear the French Fourregere on their uniforms?
5th and 6th regiments
Which two marine regiments are allowed to wear french fourragere?
The fourragère - a military award that distinguishes military units as a whole - is worn by the 5th and 6th Marine Regiments. They were awarded the fourragère for earning the Croix de Guerre with palm leaf three times during World War I. The fourragère was first adopted by France before the Netherlands, Portugal and Belgium followed.
Were there any battles in World War I where both the US Marines and French Foreign Legion were present?
I don't think so. There were only two regiments of US Marines who saw action in France, the 5th and 6th Marines. US WWI divisions had four regiments - there were two brigades to a division, and each brigade had two regiments. The Marine Brigade, made up of the 5th and 6th Marines, was one half of the US 2nd Division, the other brigade being two army regiments. There were two other Marine regiments sent to France, but they were used mostly as a source of replacements for the Marine Brigade of the 2nd Division. Inter-service politics prevented the formation of a Marine division. Plus the Marines did suffer heavy losses so perhaps the use of the other two regiments as a replacement source was sensible. At Belleau Wood and Blanc Mont the 2nd Division was under French Corps command, but there were no Legionnaires in the order of battle. The 2nd Division also took part in St Mihiel and the Meuse-Argonne, but those were mostly all-American battles.
Did Marines fight in World War 1?

They were combined with the 2nd Engineer Regiment (US Army) and 3rd Brigade, US Army to form the 2nd Division (Army), American Expeditionary Force. The Second Division was under the command of two different Marine Corps Generals at different times during WWI, Brigadier General Charles A. Doyen and Major General John A. Lejeune.
If you in the sixth Marines and you leave the unit are you still authorized to wear the Fourragere?
That decoration is only allowed for those on duty with the 5th and 6th Marine Regiments. If you earned it, you wear it and if your unit won it, you wear it while serving in that unit.
How long can a marine wear the french fourragere?
A Marine or Sailor can wear the french fourragere as long as he is in the 5th or 6th Marine regiment. Once he leaves, he can no longer wear it.
