The question seems to be asking in what war the US Marine Corps first fought. The Continental Marines were formed in 1775 to fight the British in the American Revolution, but the US Marine Corps was founded in 1794, and their first opponents were the Pirates of Tripoli. US Marines participated in later wars in small numbers, but they did not actually attain the size of a corps until World War 2.
