So you're pretty much putting together a USMC Infantry kit. I know there are USMC gear-lists somewhere that you can look up. Here's what I know:
Their uniforms are called Desert MARPAT and are available at any Army/Navy store. They wear PASGT-style helmets with NVG mounts and ESS goggles Their vests are called ILBE (Improved Load-Bearing Equipment) and they all had various MOLLE pouches attached, all in coyote tan. Most of their weapons were M-16A4s with ACOG scopes, rail systems, and vertical fore-grips. Replicas of all of this stuff can be found relatively cheap on airsoft websites. Good luck!

To build an accurate USMC uniform, as seen in Battle LA, including all of the body armor, backpack, etc, it would cost you an easy couple grand. Even if you wanted to buy replica (airsoft) armor and helmet, you'd still be over a thousand dollars. It adds up real quick. Heck, just the Ops-Core chin straps that the Marines used on their helmet in the movie run about $60-$75.

Should make it authentic and get the real gear

That's so normal though, I wouldn't think it would be worth the effort. Why not do the alien soldier instead?

Agreed. Although I haven't seen it yet so no idea what they look like or how hard it would be :lol
