Some might have been, at least it says so in the books (during the sniper raid) but most times they were probably just regular Marines.

Can't be sure. But I've read all the books and have played through the game at least 5 times. With that being said, I think the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (HellJumpers) in Halo are the Marines with the green lens thing, and partial metal armor. The other Marines with regular overall looking clothes are Marines that operate the P.O.A.

Yeah. Most of the ODST's were at Alpha base with Silva constantly fighting the Covenant. My favorite part was when they were attacked by the dozens of ghosts and they formed the square and killed almost all of them before they retreated. hahaha. stupid elites, serves them right...
