Both are equally as good as each other. They both have their specialist areas.

How do you find out the history of the Marines who served on Okinawa?
Okinawa was an Army campaign, under General Simon B. Buckner Jr., commander of the US Army's 10th Army. Iwo Jima was a Marine Corps campaign. However, Marines did fight on Okinawa; see the website "Battle of Okinawa", then look at the referrences at the bottom of the article for research material on the US Marines (at Okinawa).
Did the US Army Rangers have an impact on Iwo Jima?
yesAnswerI don't think there was any Army Ranger battalion at Iwo Jima. This was a Marine amphibious landing. Now there were specialized troops within the Marines and some could have been called "rangers". At one time there was a Marine Paratroopers but these were quickly disbanded. My answer is No.The 6th Ranger Battalion did carry out the only successful POW rescue mission on the Phillipines.
Were the US Marines the first men to storm the beach in Normandy?
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.
What are the five branches of the Armed Services?
1. The Army - The Department of US Army2. The Air Force - The Department of US Air Force3. The Navy - The Department of Navy4. The Marines - The Department of Navy, Office of the USMC5. The Coast Guard - The US Coast Guard, Department of Homeland SecuritySome argue that the National Guard is also a branch of the US Military, however unless they are deployed, the National Guard is a part of each state's executive branch. This in no way minimizes the mission they perform.
Who has the better army US or Germany?
US
Do more Marines become a Ranger or more Rangers become Marines?
You are mixing services. Rangers are a part of the US Army. US Marines are a separate military unit.
What is the US army rangers equilvent to the marine core?
actually a better question would be what is the marine cores equivalent to the army rangers. the rangers are considered more highly trained and more elite soldiers than the marines (although a marine will tell you other wise). And the marines equivalent would be MARSOC which stands for Marine Special Operations Command.
Who is better a spetznaz or a marine?
The Russian Spetznaz are a special forces group comparable to the Army Rangers. It would be expected that the Spetznaz would perform better in what is asked of them than the US Marines.
Can a soldier in the USMC transfer to the army rangers?
Well, this could be seen as a trick question - "soldier" is a term exclusive to the Army - Marines are Marines. That aside, the answer is no. If someone receives an honourable discharge from the Marines, and decides to reenlist into the Army, they could go through RIP (if they're below E5) to go into a Ranger Battalion, or, if they're E5 or higher, they could go directly in if they have already graduated from the US Army Ranger School (which some Marines do attend).
Do you have to be protestant to support rangers?
Not to support the US Army Rangers.

The US Army fought more because there were more of them, but the US Marines also fought against the Germans in France.
Who is better overall Army Rangers or Marine recon?
Apples and oranges. The US Army Rangers and Marine Corps Recon are two very distinct groups with very distinct missions. They cannot be equally compared.
How can an illegal immigrant serve in the US Army or Marines?
You can't.
What is the difference between the US Army and US Marines?
Yes the US army is better. Any marine well tell you other wise but that is because they are brainwashed. The 82nd airborne in the US army are the first to fight. They are paratroopers. The army's snipers are better then the marine snipers. This is proved by the fact that the army beats them every Year in top sniper. Some people well say well that's not combat that is just targets but this is not the only proof that they are better. For more info on that just simple research snipers. The us army offers more then 150 jobs therefore it is also better. The marines are nothing but the navy's infantry don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise. My dad is a 13 year captain in the u.s army and i will be enlisting in a year. This also gives me the opportunity to know more. Lastly i have a Friend who is trying to switch from the marines to the army because he does not thin they are good at all. I don't care what anyone said about marines being first to fight all the marines do is brand there name into your head. Here is an example think about this. Your average person said can i have a Kleenex's. But i believe Kleenex is a brand not a tissue this is called branding. When your average person goes to a restaurant they ask for coke but maybe its Pepsi this is branding. Its called the marines brainwashing our country. I watch the news and see US army soldiers walking through Iraq but they call them marines this is branding!!!!!!!!! So believe what you want but you are wrong if you think the marines are better in any aspect. GO ARMY HOOOOAAHHH!!!!!!The Marines are better than the Army, because the Corps have armed helicopters, (the Cobra), and armed fixed wing aircraft (the Hornet and the Harrier). The Army only has armed helicopters (the Apache). If the Apache isn't good enough to provide air support for the Army, they the Army has to beg the Air Force to pretty please send in the A-10 Warthog, which the Air Force plans to send to scrap heap in Tucson, Arizona and replace with the F-35 Lighting II as soon as possible.
Who has primary responsibility for developing airborne doctrines that are of common interest to the Army and Marines?

Who made soldiers wear berets?
The origins of the Green Beret are in Scotland during the Second World War. US Army Rangers and Office of Strategic Services (OSS) operatives, who underwent training from the Royal Marines were awarded the Green Beret upon completion of the grueling and revolutionary commando course. The beret was not authorized by the US Army among the Rangers and OSS operatives who earned them.
