Thats a tough one... War of 1812 was the Army; Barbary Pirates was the Marines; Peking was the Marines; Spanish-Ameican War mostly Marines; Mexican-Ameican War mostly Army; WW1 was the Army; WW2: Marines-Pacific, Army-Europe; Korea was both; Veitnam was both; Iraq 1 would be a weighted to Army; Afghanistan both (but mostly Army now); Iraq 2 would be again weighted more to the Army... but if you include the Union Army well then...
In the end I'd have to say the US Army, because while the Marines may have garnered some great victories it's the Army that has in reality put the boots on the ground and handled the long-drawn out slugging matches as well as the aftermath of the Marine's victories.
