Different nations will have different solutions, of course, but
ingeneral: 

The Navy will have Marines for boarding actions but also for
special-forces type raids against planets, asteroids or bases. These
will be platoon to company sized actions; if you want a battalion, you
need the Army.

The Army and Navy will argue over who controls orbital defense bases and
orbital boombardment monitors.

Wealthy systems will have a separate Customs/Rescue naval force. Poor
nations will use their navy for that, and that's about all it will be
good for, but most of them will still call it "Navy" rather than
whatever the spacefaring equivalent of "Coast Guard" is.
