I don't know the exact order of battle, but that sounds right
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.

To give some perspective on the overall difference in size of the two forces, army and marine, in the Pacific. The III Amphibious Corps was just under one half of one Army, the 10th Army to be exact. And yes the 10th was under the command of an Army General.
But on top of that, the US Army in the Pacific also had the 6th Army & 8th Army which both were made up solely of army formations. And after the fall of Germany in May 1945, the Army started shipping the 1st Army from Europe to the Pacific to get ready for the invasion of Japan.
