No. Marines are embarked with the Amphibious Ready Groups. The Army also has an amphibious mission and significant amphibious assets.

Viewing the deployment of both these assets is a key indicator of the nature of our anticipated operations.

Think of it this way; Navy/Marine amphibious assault establishes a Force Beachhead for a demonstration or raid. Followup Army amphibious forces reinforce and breakout for invasion operations. This is more a WWII scenario. But it provides a general idea.
