The US Marines don't have a medical branch - the Corpsmen are members of the US Navy. Their pay is based on their pay grade, time in service, and any special allowances they may be entitled to.
while there is always inter-service rivalry, the Marines and the Navy work well together to accomplish their missions. The Navy also provides a great deal of support to the Marine Corps in the form of medical help, doctors, nurses, corpsmen, chaplains, JAG and liaison staff. And the Navy provides the ship transportation to land the Marines at their destination.
There is no patron saint of Navy Corpsmen. However, St. Michael the Archangel is the patron saint of Emergency Medical Technicians.
Peleliu had 1,252 Marines and Navy Corpsmen killed from the 1st Marine Division and another 542 soldiers from the 81st Infantry Division, US Army. The Japanese 14th Infantry Division lost 10,695 killed.
A Medic, actually a Navy Hospital Corpsman. They are USN personnel attached to a specific unit in the Marines. The Marines do not have their own medical staff. Corpsmen, as well as Doctors, Nurses, Naval Gunfire Liaison Officers and Chaplains are assigned from the Navy. Officers have the choice of wearing Navy or Marine Corps uniforms. In the field, everyone wears Marine Corps uniforms.
Probably the US Army. The US Air Force didn't exist; the US Marines are (or were) naval infantrymen and didn't even have medics (the US Navy supplied the marines with "Corpsmen"); the US Navy was busy manning ships.
6821 Americans died, but none of them were soldiers. Soldiers belong to the Army, and it was the US Marines who took Iwo Jima. So all the casualties were Marines, or medics serving with the Marines, who are US Navy Corpsmen. There were also 19,217 US wounded.
