US Navy and USMC conduct integrated operations
 

The US Navy and US Marine Corps (USMC) have collaborated to conduct integrated operations at sea to support the regional security and stability in the US 7th Fleet area of operations.

These operations focus on interoperability to continue the development of warfighting concepts.

Additionally, they will improve distributed maritime missions and enable real-time proficiency and readiness.

US Destroyer Squadron 15 commodore Captain Steven De Moss said: “Our forward-deployed naval forces at sea are spread from the Sea of Japan to operations in the South China Sea and Indian Ocean.

To varying degrees, all branches may cooperate. TheWWII Okinawa amphib landing included units of both the Marines, and the Army. Transported by Navy vessels.

Now both Navy and Marines, have planes. Fixed and rotary wing I believe.

I think they assemble the pieces they need, mission by mission.

This has been the case since Day One of the US Navy having airplanes. Unlike the Navy,the USMC even had enlisted pilots in WW-2.

The carrier I was aboard usually had 1-2 Marine jets aboard, too.  That was 45 years ago so I'm sure things have changed but Marine jet jockies had to be carrier qualified, too.
