It depends on what kind of division; i.e. infantry, armored, etc. A US Army Infantry Division had 687 Officers, 42 Warrant Officers & 12,959 Enlisted Men in its Table of Organization during WW 2. An Armored Division had 558 Officers, 51 Warrant Officers & 10,001 Enlisted Men in its Table of Organization.

Did the US Army or the US Marine Corps kill more Japanese soldiers in combat during World War 2?

There were only six divisions of US Marines, all of which fought in the Pacific. There were also fifteen or more US Army divisions which fought in the Pacific, plus the air force during the war was the US Army Air Force. There were no Marines fighting in New Guinea or the Philippines, and there were army troops present at Guadalcanal, the Marianas and Okinawa. The Marines did a magnificent job, and the Marine Corps PR office perhaps even exceeded this effort in publicizing the "all Marine" operations, such as Tarawa, Peleliu and Iwo Jima. But, just like in WWI, about five percent of US combat troops were Marines, but the publicity they got was many multiples higher. There should be no doubt which service killed more Japanese soldiers (not to mention all the Germans and Italians).

Marine strength during world war 2?

Over 700,000 men served in the WWII US Marine Corps. Eventually the Marines fielded six divisions, all infantry, and all of which fought in the Pacific. There were also some non-divisional units such as several tank battalions. There were Marine aviation units, including several fighter squadrons. There was (and continue to be) Marine detachments on every captial ship of the US Navy, and Marines guard American embassies and consulates around the world. The impression is often gained that Marines were the main ground force of the US in the Pacific. However there were also fifteen US Army divisions in the Pacific, plus a great many smaller units, and the bulk of aviation units were from the US Army Air Force. Over eight million men served in the US Army, which fielded 91 divisions. Tarawa and Iwo Jima were, I believe, the only "all Marine" operations.
