Question: The branch of the United States Armed Forces responsible for conducting amphibious operations with the United States Navy had which armor battalion?
Context: The Turkish Land Forces (Turkish: "Türk Kara Kuvvetleri" ), or Turkish Army (Turkish: "Türk Ordusu" ), is the main branch of the Turkish Armed Forces responsible for land-based military operations.  Official claims state that the army was founded by Modu Chanyu of the Xiongnu Empire in 209 BC, but the modern history of the army began with its formation after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.  Significant events since the foundation of the Army include combat in the Korean War and in the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, and acting as a NATO bulwark along Cold War frontiers through 1992.  The army holds the preeminent place within the armed forces.  It is customary for the Chief of the General Staff of the Republic of Turkey to have been the Commander of the Turkish Land Forces prior to his appointment as Turkey's senior ranking officer.  Alongside the other two armed services, the Turkish Army has frequently intervened in Turkish politics, which has now been regulated to an extent with the reform of the National Security Council.  The current commander of the Turkish Land Forces is General Salih Zeki Çolak. The United States Marine Corps (USMC), also known as the United States Marines, is a branch of the United States Armed Forces responsible for conducting amphibious operations with the United States Navy.  The U.S. Marine Corps is one of the four armed service branches in the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and one of the seven uniformed services of the United States. The Navy of the Confederate States (CSN) was the naval branch of the Confederate States Armed Forces, established by an act of the Confederate States Congress on February 21, 1861.  It was responsible for Confederate naval operations during the American Civil War (1861-1865), fighting against the Union Navy / United States Navy. The amphibious Battle of Gela was the opening engagement of the United States portion of the Allied Invasion of Sicily.  United States Navy ships landed United States Army troops along the eastern end of the south coast of Sicily; and withstood attacks by Luftwaffe and Regia Aeronautica aircraft while defending the beachhead against German and Italian tanks until the Army captured the Ponte Olivo Airfield for use by United States Army Air Forces planes.  The battle convinced United States Army officers of the value of naval artillery support, and revealed problems coordinating air support from autonomous air forces during amphibious operations. United States Pacific Command (USPACOM) is a unified combatant command of the United States Armed Forces responsible for the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.  It is the oldest and largest of the unified combatant commands.  Its commander, the senior U.S. military officer in the Pacific, is responsible for military operations in an area which encompasses more than 100 e6sqmi , or roughly 52 percent of the Earth’s surface, stretching from the waters off the west coast of the United States to the west coast of India, and from the Arctic to the Antarctic.  The Commander reports to the President of the United States through the Secretary of Defense and is supported by Service component and subordinate unified commands, including U.S. Army Pacific, U.S. Pacific Fleet, U.S. Pacific Air Forces, U.S. Marine Forces Pacific, U.S. Forces Japan, U.S. Forces Korea, Special Operations Command Korea, and Special Operations Command Pacific.  USPACOM also has three direct reporting units (DRUs), including Daniel K. Inouye Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies, U.S. Pacific Command Joint Intelligence Operations Center, Center for Excellence in Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance; and a Standing Joint Task Force, Joint Interagency Task Force West.  The USPACOM headquarters building, the Nimitz-MacArthur Pacific Command Center, is located on Camp H.M. Smith, Hawaii. The 3rd Tank Battalion (3rd Tanks) was an armor battalion of the United States Marine Corps. The United States Air Force (USAF) is the aerial and space warfare service branch of the United States Armed Forces and one of the seven American uniformed services.  Initially part of the United States Army, the USAF was formed as a separate branch of the U.S. Armed Forces on 18 September 1947 under the National Security Act of 1947.  It is the most recent branch of the U.S. Armed Forces to be formed.  The USAF is the largest and one of the most technologically advanced air forces in the world.  The service articulates its core functions as Nuclear Deterrence Operations, Air Superiority, Space Superiority, Cyberspace Superiority, Command and Control, Global Integrated ISR, Global Precision Attack, Special Operations, Rapid Global Mobility, Personnel Recovery, Agile Combat Support, and Building Partnerships. The Republic of Korea Navy (ROKN; Korean: 대한민국 해군 ; Hanja: 大韓民國海軍; Revised Romanization: "Daehanminguk Haegun"), also known as the ROK Navy, is the naval warfare service branch of the South Korean armed forces, responsible for conducting naval operations and amphibious landing operations.  The ROK Navy includes the Republic of Korea Marine Corps, which is a quasi-autonomous organization.  Established in 1945, the ROK Navy is the oldest branch of the South Korean armed forces. Chief Warrant Officer is a military rank used by the United States Armed Forces, the Canadian Armed Forces, the Pakistan Air Force, the Israel Defense Forces, the South African National Defence Force, the Lebanese Armed Forces and, since 2012, the Singapore Armed Forces.  In the United States Armed Forces Chief Warrant Officers are actual officers, not NCOs like other NATO forces. Vice Admiral Daniel Edward Barbey (23 December 1889 – 11 March 1969) was an officer in the United States Navy who served in World War I and World War II.  A graduate of the Naval Academy, he participated in the 1912 United States occupation of Nicaragua and the 1915 United States occupation of Veracruz.  While serving with the War Plans Section of the Bureau of Navigation in Washington, D.C. between the World Wars, developed an interest in amphibious warfare.  In 1940 he produced "Fleet Training Publication 167 – Landing Operations Doctrine, United States Navy", which would become the Navy's "bible" of amphibious operations, and would remain in use throughout World War II.
