The Marine Corps has been involved is Asiatic service since the turn of the 20th century. After WWII, the US established basis for Asiatic service in Japan, and we have been there ever since. Study up on sea power, and the protection of US assets abroad, and the projection of US power and influence by sea power, and you will understand why the Corps is a significant presence in Asia. Also, since we gave up our bases in the Philippines, our foothold in Japan is even more important. You don't need an real "evidence" just a little education and understanding on US foreign policy during the last 150 years; and a little knowledge of the mission of the Navy and Marine Corps.
