In 1969, several Marine Corps units were deployed in Vietnam, with notable ones including the 1st Marine Division, the 3rd Marine Division, and the 9th Marine Amphibious Brigade. Specific unit numbers varied, but the 1st Marine Regiment (part of the 1st Marine Division) and the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines (3/5) were among the prominent units engaged in operations during that year. Additionally, various smaller battalions and support units operated throughout the country, contributing to the U.S. military efforts in the Vietnam War.

General MacArthur strategy to defeat Japan would go through the occupied islands held by Japan. The Marines had amphibious training. So it made sense for MacArthur to utilize the Marines to defeat Japan. So the Marines did not have a unit at the invasion of Normandy.
