The modern US Marine Corps arrives in 1941

With its current weapons, the modern US Marine Corps would overwhelm opponents equipped for 1941.

Question

What if the modern US Marine Corps replaced the USMC of 1941?

Short answer

With its modern weapons, it would dominate; without them, the advantage would be far smaller.

Notes

The result depends on whether the modern Marines bring their weapon systems. With aircraft such as the F-35B, they would have an overwhelming advantage over forces equipped for 1941. Personnel arriving without that equipment would lose much of the advantage assumed by the scenario.
