Oddly, US Marines were not used in the amphibious landings in the Mediterranean, Sicily, Italy, Normandy nor Southern France. And for most of the Pacific amphibious landings, the Marines were used most of the time and not the US Army. Kinda odd.

How did tides play a role World War 2?

The navies needed high tides to be able to have boats land on the Islands of the Pacific and to land in Africa, Italy, and Normandy. When the invasion of Normandy happened they almost had to wait two more weeks because that is how long they would have had to wait for the next really high tide. But a storm lifted some and they were able to go on June 6, 1944 while the tide was high. In the Battle of Tarawa ran into problems with the coral reef because the tide was not high enough to get their boats to the beach. Men had to get off the boats and swim or walk to the beach. Some drowned from the weight of their equipment on their backs. This happened at Omaha beach in Normandy too.
