The United States Marine Corp is part of the Department of the Navy they don't have there own Department. Many of the people that work with the Marine Corps are actually Navy personnel. Corpsman, chaplains, JAG, dentists, doctors and nurses are actually Naval personnel assigned to work with the Marines, so they often continue to wear Navy uniforms and are issued Navy equipment.
