I believe Spartans have at one point done the same exact thing that Six did (I forgot which book it was from, but I remember reading it) but many of the Spartans were killed/injured from entering the atmosphere from vacuum.
I believe the part from the books you're talking about is from First Strike when it tells how the Spartans the MC deployed planet-side to defend the MAC generators during the Battle for Reach and they had to abandon their damaged pelican and free-fall all the way to the surface.
