Also just watch that any figure doesn't include members of the Marine Cadet Corps (part of the Sea Cadets) as these do not have any wartime service obligation.
"Armies of NATO's Central Front" lists the Royal Marines as having:

3 Commando Brigade RM
42 Commando RM
40 Commando RM
29 Commando Regiment RRA
59 Independent Commando Squadron RE
3 Commando Brigade Air Squadron

539 Assault Squadron RM
2 Raiding Squadron RM (reserves)
289 Commando Rattery RA(V)
131 Independent Commando Squadron RE(V)
Special Boat Squadron RM (attached)

45 Commando Group
45 Commando RM
W Company, Royal Netherlands marine Corps (attached)
7 Commando Battery RA
No 4 Troop, 59 Independent Commando Squadron RE
Commachio Company RM (attached)

40 Commando RM was shown as being part of Land Forces Cyprus (British UN Contingent)
