This is true but if Bungie would have payed more attention to the book They wouldnt have messed up the ending for halo reach
The Ending!?
The game was conflicting whith canon from the begining.
For instance, S-III's where mainly sent on high risk suiside missions.
So some guy named Holland has 5 of them and a S-II, and he has them chicking out 'downed relay stations', i mean, seriously!?
privatized groups of S3's aren't rare. Look at the Headhunter companies for instance. They also had a couple of S2 private groups made up out of "missing" Spartans, see: Grey Team.
Those groups consist of highly skilled Spartans, are taken off the radar and do various missions that are not the usual suicide missions anymore.
And what is wrong with inspecting a downed Comms Array in the middle of what is presumed to be Insurrection country? Would you go in with a battalion of ODST's, sure to bring the heat and not being very subtle?
Or do you send in some Spartans who are far more discrete, can do far more damage if possible with presumably less casualties amongst themselfs?
Tactically, option 2 is far better. No need to go in guns blazing if you don't know what is goinf on, risking the community to join the Insurrection because you blew up their homes, destroyed their crops etc.
And if there are Insurrectionists, there will probably be lots of them, and a Spartan team would take them out nice and clean.
Besides: Master Chief and Blue Team had countless of these missions too.
