But even there it was more of an Army than a Marine operation. There were 4 army divisions deployed compared to 3 Marine divisions.


Yeah - I don't know the exact order of battle, but that sounds right - and it was all hands on deck for the USMC - that was every marine in the Pacific that was available to put on a landing craft.

Yeah - Darth - you were spot on - XXIV Corps (U.S. Army) was the 7th, 27th, 77th and 96th divisions, while the III Amphibious Corps (USMC) was the 1st, 2nd and 6th Marine Divisions.
