Found this from Bungiepedia. It was posted here during the 'Keep It Clean' craze I think. Irrelevant lines have been removed (i.e. STATIC, EXPLOSION, etc.)
[SMN.ACTUAL]: "The situation on the ground isn't my concern."
[DARE.V.500341(S1)]: "I understand, Admiral. But I need --"
[DARE.V.500341(S1)]: "Admiral, about my squad?"
[DARE.V.500341(S1)]: "I've forwarded their NCO's name to your --"
[SMN.ACTUAL]: "Enough, Captain!"
[SMN.ACTUAL]: "If I survive this atack..."
[SMN.ACTUAL]: "I will deploy per my orders from Fleet HQ!"
[DARE.V.500341(S1)]: "Sir. I don't report to Fleet."
[DARE.V.500341(S1)]: "And the men I want? Now they don't either."
[DARE.V.500341(S1)]: "Please. Read my request."
[SMN.ACTUAL]: "Didn't think you S1 types ever left your cave."
[DARE.V.500341(S1)]: "Desperate times..."
[SMN.ACTUAL]: "Alright, Captain. You've got your squad."
[SMN.ACTUAL]: "If I survive the attack."
[SMN.ACTUAL]: "And right now? That'll take a genuine act of God."
[DARE.V.500341(S1)]: "I'll see what I can do."

I'm assuming DARE.V.500341 is the Dare that everyone is speculating about.
Logs show that Dare is a captain and that she ordered a squad. She also states that the squad now no longer takes orders from Fleet.
The admiral also seems to not care about the ground units, so support for our ODSTs is unlikely.
Dare's flashbacks may be her saving the admiral to get the squad she ordered.
Also, it shows Dare as S1. This refer to Spartan 1? (I haven't read up on much so feel free to correct me on things. Finding this made me feel like a little boy in a candy shop)
Update 1: S1 being called Section 1 of ONI. Information about Section 1:
"Section OneThe main intelligence-gathering section, and the foremost provider of electronic intelligence for the UNSC. Covenant ship movements and force deployment, evacuation notices for colonies, deletion of data for secrecy purposes, and much more are all done by Section 1."

Update 2
Originally, S1 was thought to possibly refer to SPARTAN-I, a program that predated the Human-Covenant War, but she was confirmed by Joseph Staten not to be a Spartan.[3]
A probable theory is that "S-1" actually refers to ONI, as Section One is the main intelligence gathering section of ONI and she is an ONI officer.
In the modern United States Military, the S1 Officer plays the role of a personnel and administrations officer.
Special Forces Squads, which "Dare" is supposedly commanding, is comprised of around 14 men commanded by a Captain. However, this could have changed within the 500 years between the modern day US Marine Special Operations units and their future UNSC counterparts.
