The regular Army is as good, but in a different way. In general, the US Army has a different mission: after battle, occupation and pacification; in battle, slugging it out with the enemy's armor and heavy artillery, tank forces and air power.
Of course, the marines do some of this, but they are really a quick strike force intended to be mobile.
