Navy, Army, Marines, Army Air Corp and Coast Guard. All of the Services at that time.
I did a little quick research. There were no marine units involved in the invasion. There was a Marine General who was part of the planning group and there were small groups of Marines here and there, but as was mentioned below, no Marine units of any sort participated in the invasion.

Army, Army Air Corps in Operation Overlord. Coast Guard and Navy in Operation Neptune. Marine Divisions in World War Two were mainly involved in the Pacific War because their expertise in amphibious warfare was crucial in moving from the breakout at Australia to the eventual capture of Iwo Jima and Okinawa.

They all were, except for the Air Force, which didn't come into being until 1947-48. The Army Air corp, Navy, Marines, and Regular Army represented the US, and the British has their full compliment of military also. We through it all at them.

Ya know, I never hear about marines during D-Day, I believe the marine combat units and divisions where all committed to the pacific campaign against japan. But some navy ships of certain sizes do have small marine detachments with them. Sooo, I would have to say as units, probably every branch but the marines, they where steadily kicking japans butt.
PS. and for the tumbs downers, show me a link with a marine "FORMATION" that landed anywhere in europe on D-Day, then I will consider it something I learned today, otherwise, i stick to my Guns, No marine Units landed in Europe. Prove me wrong someone, links? Anb by all means, not annti marine, they did a fantastic job in the pacific, war would have been years longer without a great Marine corps.
PSS. Order of Battle for the United States for the invasion of France on June 6th 1944, there was no Marine Formations there.

Operations Neptune was the amphibious portion of the D-Day invasion. The US Coast Guard manned a total of 99 troop transports, LST, Higgins boats, and various patrol boats. CG delivered the 1st Div "Big Red One" to Omaha Beach. They rescued over 400 soldiers from the water and suffered 18 KIA.

initially, as a fashion to "bypass Officer" you choose a level. era. desire to commute, then the two branch would be stable. i'm biased to the Marines. i'm one. yet, the army has bases international and the army needless to say has ships that bypass everywhere too. Enlisted. considering you do not have a level, you won't be able to bypass officer. so a good distance as MOS, see what's available to you in ALL BRANCHES.

All except the Air Force, which did not exist at that time, was part of the Army).

The Marines were given a pass on this one.
They had enough to do in the South Pacific.

I dont think the coast guard was part of the D-Day invasion , its not even a military branch, the coast Guard falls under the dept. of transportation
