They fought mainly in the pacific. They had the job of making a beachhead..(.the first in). Island hopping was some of the worst fighting that occured.

The Marines fought Japan in the Pacific theatre of WWII. They suffered huge losses and faced a ruthless, crazed enemy brainwashed by Emperor Hirohito (I think). They had many POWs as well. Army fought in Europe against the Nazis.
