It may be entirely possible that in other levels you can simply ignore the objective and continue on. In New Alexandria, when I didn't kill the Brutes in a side-mission fast enough, Kat told me I was too late...had I not been killed shortly after by a Shade turret, perhaps she would have directed me to the next jammer, which would mean that side-missions where you need to assist some allies can be ignored.
She only says those lines when the enemies in question are dead. They still have to be vanquished one way or another. You just don't have to get the optimal outcome (all the troopers survive).
In my run for example, I got the 3 snipers pinning down the squad of marines, they died pretty quick. But she didn't say 'they're dead, move on' until I'd killed the jackals. Even though the troopers die much before that. The next objective (jammer) won't spawn (or, let you inside that is) until the side-missions are 'done'. Whatever the result.

I wish he would just not fire until I fired. ie: Let me be stealthy. Of course not. That would helpful. I still think the best stealthy sniper mission I've seen was that one in COD4. Jun is way too gung-ho for what is a supposedly a stealthy recon op.

And to those who think the timekeeping for Halo: Reach stats is weird: I think the reason for this is that while saved films don't realize that you're pausing, Xbox Live sees you playing a certain level for two hours, despite being paused. The Halo: Reach stats just reflect what an outside observer would see.
Yeah, thats what I figured. Its still a stupid way to do it. Why make it completely useless to every community that cares about the time stamps at all? Especially after it being great for 3 games!
