In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

That is a good idea, but unfortunately not possible. The SPARTANS were originally created to fight the insurrectionalists (thats the Rebels), but as soon as the Covenant made an appearance, all Spartans were reassigned.
The humans hold no territories in the "outer rim" (liking the StarWars influence), so why would a Spartan that is unaware of the Covenant war be sent there for no reason? Answer: They weren't.
Spartans were sent there for "Behind Enemy Lines" missions, and were in battlefields too distant to be recalled, against the Covenant.
You are correct, some were not at Reach. Grey Team springs to mind here, but I've got a feeling that they were taking on the Covenant on one of those missions I have stated above. Red Team... well no-one knows where they really are, and then there are the mysterious few Spartans that haven't been mentioned yet.Yes, Grey team was supposed to be behind enemy lines at the time of Fall of Reach, but hadn't been heard from for a few years or so.
First, Red team is just a part of the Spartans as a whole. If you recall Fall of Reach and First Strike, the spartans that went ground-side on Reach were all assigned as "Red Team." As for the Spartans from Halo Wars, during the battle of Reach, they were still MIA along with the whole crew of Spirit of Fire (considered KIA officially).
At the time of the battle of Reach, 28 Spartans were alive, but only 25 were called to Reach for a special mission (which got interrupted and the Battle of Reach happened). The 3 not present were those of Grey Team.
