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.

The Navy will haul large contingents of Marines to the locations where they are needed. Deployment can be through aircraft or boats once they reach the theater of operations.
