A difficult question, but it could be said that the US Army has lost more battles than the US Marines because the US Army has fought more battles than the US Marines. In some battles, victory or loss is debatable. At Chosin Reservoir the Marine retreat (or advance to the rear as it was called) has been blamed on the Army.
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).
There may have been more than one, but the one that made the news was, of course, Corregidor (not sure if the spelling is right), which was the location of a fortress which was assumed to be impregnable. The troops were US Army ---not Marines. Marines were used later to re-capture many of the islands and allowed the army to return to Philippines. Several "army" infantry Divisions fought throughout the Philippines during the liberation, which allowed General MacArthur to return. If you are doing the "World War II" crossword puzzle, like I assume you are, the answer is BATAAN.
yes they made over 5 landings. the army made 1
US. marines because of there expertise is in killing terrorists and anyone/anything that threatens there country.Also to the army is a larger branch so it just depends on the person that you are if you fear the big guys that can pick you up and through you like a football then you fear the Marines army is usually anyone that doesn't like being screamed at by the DI'S. but this is just my opinion.

Individual Marines, or the Corps as a whole? The Marine Corps is extremely stingy with its medals. Things that in the Army will get you an Army Commendation Medal won't get you any medals at all in the Marines. The Marines also don't have a lot of the service ribbons the Army has.
There is no way to determine this.

You are mixing services. Rangers are a part of the US Army. US Marines are a separate military unit.
Their pay is the same.

If you stuck a squad of Marines and A squad of army soldiers, The marines would definatley win! Marine are trained to be right in the action, Army soldiers are more for support and backup. Marines are trained more harsh and cruel than a Army soldier.
The main points of differentiation between the Marines and Army are their primary mission, size, training, and culture. The Marines are a smaller branch focused on amphibious operations and known for their rapid response capabilities. The Army is a larger branch responsible for land-based warfare and has a more diverse range of missions. The Marines undergo a more intense and specialized training regimen, while the Army has a broader range of career options. Culturally, the Marines often have a stronger sense of tradition, camaraderie, and pride.
