You have an entire Battalion sized MEU (the standard at-sea 24/7 fast reaction Marine Expeditionary Unit) at your disposal. It would take a couple weeks to a month to get enough of the right kind of ships together, or redeploy the MEU that's at-sea in the Mediterranean to the area.

Rather then do that they'll load US Army units (probably from Korea) aboard normal freighters and land them once the Marines have secured a beachhead.

This isn't "D-Day", it's just the Marines grabbing a piece of coastline so the Army has someplace to come ashore.
