If you read the books it will also help you realize that the "Spartans on the ground" mentioned in the trailer and the Spartans you see at the end of the trailer are Chief and his team he had back on Reach. Unfortunately the planet is attacked all of Chief's team dies in a long fight for Reach and the Pillar of Autum escapes Reach with Chief......enter Halo:CE.
MC was never on the ground. John, Linda and James all went to retreive the NAV data off of a docked ship in orbit. James was lost in space and Linda was badly injured (but lived). Also in First Strike we find out that not all the spartans died on the ground. Eventually John came back to Reach and they were rescued.
