While the U.S. Marine Corps is much harder to be accepted into than the U.S. Army; it is a completely separate branch of the military. The SAS are trained specifically for Special Operations, while the USMC has several specialist branches within it (i.e. there are USMC fighter pilots, while the SAS only has infantry personnel) Therefore, to compare the whole USMC to the Elite Special Forces of the British Army is rather unreasonable.
While the USMC basic training lasts 12 weeks; just to nominate for SAS selection, candidates need to have passed the 14 week basic training for the British Army. SAS candidates must undertake a selection process of 19 weeks that tests their teamwork and fieldcraft knowledge.
Therefore, in terms of training and skill, SAS is much better equipped than the USMC.
Once again, to compare SAS and USMC is unreasonable, as the SAS is a select special forces element much like the Navy SEALS.
Hope this helps :)

British marine vs us marines?
Hey there, They are in a way equal. US Marines may have quantity, however British Marines have quality. US Army has more man power, it does have intense training, but I and other people agree that the British Army has more intense training. British Army also has the SAS (Special Air Service) the SAS are currently the toughest unit in the world, also the British Army have the SBS (Special Boat Service) this is also another intense unit. Hope this helps!
