In reality if anyone is being shipped over, these are replacements to unit losses.
That means these are going to units that already exist and are in Theater. New formed and complete MTOE units in the V1.0 timeline would be unlikely. Units that receive replacements are going to be promoting from within their own experienced ranks. That means most are going to be desperately taking any Privates and Lieutenants they can get.
A legitimate use for U.S.N. personnel if it was decided they were necessary for Land Forces is to relieve Army and Marine Corps units of Rear (CommZ) supporting functions like port security, POW camps, Hospitals, repair depots, supply depots, Potable water, ................
This frees up Army and Marine Corps support battalions to move up with the fighting forces. U.S.N. personnel will be just as satisfactory with the rear area ADA, Radar, SatComs, as their Brethren.
