The Marine Corps reached a peak strength of over 700,000. There were six Marine Divisions, all infantry, and all fought in the Pacific. There were also a few Air Wings, and some tank battalions.

The WWII Marine Corps was about one-tenth the size of the US Army, and fielded about one-fifteenth as many divisions.
