In 1970 there were approximately 249000 Marines serving in the U.S. Marine Corps. This was the highest number of Marines since the end of World War II. Below is a breakdown of the Marine Corps personnel numbers in 1970:

  • Active Duty: 237000
  • Active Reserve: 11000
  • Inactive Reserve: 1000

The Marine Corps has continued to grow since then and as of 2019 there were over 186000 active duty Marines and 38500 reserve Marines.
