The question refers the practice of decimation, a feature of the Roman Army during the Early Republic, and later abolished. To my knowledge it was last and most famously used in the Late Republic by Crassus. He had every tenth soldier executed to make an example after his army failed to defeat the Slave Army of Spartacus. Despite what you may have seen in movies, it was not done in the days of the Roman Empire, although some other generals may have ordered it at some point in world history.

Who was the only Marine to command an Army unit?
The question would be who was the only one to command an Army division. Marines like to say there's no such thing as an ex-Marine, so a Squad Leader who had served in the Marines before transferring to the Army could technically be a Marine commanding an Army unit, and I've known a couple of them.Anyhow, it wasn't one person - there were two - and both commanded the Army's 2nd Infantry Division. This was possible because, when the division was formed in 1917, a brigade of Marines was assigned to the division. Brigadier General Charles A. Doyen was the first, and Major General John Lejune were the two Marines who commanded a US Army Division.Another more recent command shift happened when the Tenth United State Army on Okinawa lost Lieutenant General Simon Bolivar Buckner, Jr., US Army as Killed in Action. In that case, Major General Roy Geiger assumed command of the Tenth United States Army which included the XXIV Corps of the US Army and the III Amphibious Corps of the US Marine Corps. Geiger was a Naval Aviator and two time winner of the Navy Cross. He was the only Marine to Command a United States Army in battle. He was relieved by General "Vinegar Joe" Stillwell who had spent most of WWII commanding in China.
