US Marines is a small force.. wow. Think about the Marines role in the Pacific against Japan in WW2. So in a east-west conflict Marines would certainly play a huge role invading and protecting coasts and bases, islands (vital to SOSUS and aircrafts)and adding flexibility to theater command.
I´m talking about ETO. I read documents saying about 3000 US marines would be available to europe in the 80ties. Of course they are of good use, but in the huge sceme of things a "smalL" factor.
