Well that's a very good question but they were awarded the burma star right after the pacific star, this was because they had successfully landed on the Feircnh Beach and eliminated the 15th Gedisch Infantry.
The reason why there was confusion is because when they were awarded rumors had speculated that they hadnt successfully finished the raid and also since they were awarded right after each other, it was just easily miss interperated

(MARDET = Marine Detachment... sorry) They performed a myriad of duties: Guards for the Commanding officer and Executive Officer, and visiting VIP's; In charge of the Brig; they had absolute authority over the Nuclear weapon during practice loading/unloading drills - no one got close to it without permission from them; they acted as the "Police Force" when the ship was in port - you've heard the stories about drunken sailors?, they were the only armed force aboard the ship. Personally I was glad they were there. They took their duty very seriously... well... of course they did they were US Marines.
