I've noticed, in several instances, that if the USMC is left alone they tend to diverge from how the US Army does things.
They choose different weapons, different doctrine, different...
Then, once there's a war on, they revert to how the Army does it.
Well... The conform to the Army's way of doing things after Big Army gets blooded and discovers all those peacetime niceties hamper combat operations.
Really, both services diverge from what works, it's just the USMC goes farther out on the limb before coming back.
The above is just a surface assessment. I've not done any real research. It's just a "sure seems like" observation, which could be totally incorrect with more in depth research.
