The U.S. embassies around the world are always at risk of threat (especially terrorist threats, nowadays).
Marines are serving in Vietnam today at the U.S. Embassy in HaNoi. But during the war, the embassy guards in SaiGon were Marines through the closing of Embassy operations in April, 1975 - a full two years after U.S. Marine combat units had all left the country.
The marines were required as guards and soldiers. They were there to enact the orders of the officers.
As of December 2014, there is no military presence in Cambodia except for a small contingent of US Marines at the American Embassy known as the Embassy Guards (and are attached to the State Department). It is important to note that there is no American military presence either planned or requested, according to the American ambassador in a 2014 interview.
No, not serving. There are of course guards outside the embassy
The US Marines are an extension of the US Navy. They provide ground forces for amphibious and air assualts. They also provide security for US Naval establishements and the US Embassy's.

Military mess food.
As far as i am aware there were no Royal Marines on board ships or protecting civilians, forts,routes, shipping lanes & cargo from the UK to America, India etc during 18th & 19th Centuries. However there is substantial proof & evidence that regiments of the Coldstream Guards from the Brigade of Guards were undertaking all the duties as stated above well beyond the 19th Century, until the Royal Marines were formed. Needless to say the Royal Marines would never admit to being formed from the Coldstream Guards.
You can find Marines in any country the US has an Embassy. The Marines provide security for all of the US Embassies, including Bolivia. There has been no deployment there.
