The Marines are usually pre-dispositioned with carrier battle groups to react to trouble contrary to the interests of the United States, but the Army is also set up for rapid deployment, as well. Additionally, the proximity of units may determine it - for instance, if a war broke out in Europe, US Army units in Europe would be the first to respond, due to their proximity.

Why do marines go first during war?
When have they, exactly? Special operations units from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and CIA were in Iraq well before the ground invasion started, and the initial push into Iraq involved all branches simultaneously. The Rangers went into Afghanistan when the Marines did. The 82nd Airborne Division of the Army are where the first troops to respond to the 1990 invasion of Kuwait came from. Panama was mostly an Army affair, Grenada involved Navy SEALs and Army Rangers who went in-country before the Marines did, the first advisors to the South Vietnamese were from the Army. The Marine battalions were sent in initially to guard airfields to protect them from attacks by the Viet Cong, but the first major combat action in Vietnam was undertaken by the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army. So I suppose that your question would have to be based on fact before it could be legitimately answered. LOL the army had to send its best with the everyday marines ^^^^ lol all i see is marines and the best of the rest of the branches... lol not gonna say anything about the marines best huh.

Was the US Army first to inter Iraq or was the US Marines first to inter Iraq?
The Army had units in Iraq first. US Army Special Forces were in Iraq before the war even began. As for the ground offensive, it was a simultaneous push - the border was crossed at several points simultaneously by both Army and Marine personnel, although I believe the first line unit fully across the border into Iraq was an Army unit. The first actual strike of the war, however, was dealt by the Air Force.

What does the army do in war?
Very generally, a nation's army is the land-based, ground fighting branch of the armed services. Some countries use the term land army to distinguish the army from the air force or even the marines. Marines are usually attached to the naval (sea based) forces, and often act as the "navy's infantry."
