The argument that both Alpha and Beta Company were completely wiped out on their respective missions is flat out wrong. It is true to an extent i.e. all of the Spartan IIIs that were sent on their company's respective suicide OPs died (excluding Tom and Lucy). However, there are explanations for each of the members of Noble still being alive after their company's destruction:
Kat (Beta Company)
According to Kurt's Transmission, Kat was not deployed on TORPEDO, due to her being injured during the previous operation, CARTWHEEL. Kurt used her medical recovery time to keep her out of her company' destruction.
Noble 6 (Beta Compnay)
Kurt states that he was taken out of the main Company directly after training.
Carter, Emile, Jun (Alpha Company)
It is now obvious that Kurt withheld numerous Spartan IIIs from their company's final missions. Evidence of this is his transmission regarding Beta Company, but more importantly the existence of the Headhunters. Even if all other eight Beta company "deaths", not including N6, were put into the Headhunter program, this is not enough to make up the numbers. At the program's height there were 6 two-man teams, 12 Spartans, with 17 others rotating into positions when one or more of a team was killed. That is 29 Spartan IIIs needed, and clearly they can't all be Beta Spartans because the numbers don't add up. It is also obvious that Gamma Company cannot be included based on deployment time and age. This means that the others would have to be from from Alpha, and there we have clear evidence that Spartans were withheld from PROMETHEUS, which leaves room to say that Carter, Emile and Jun were also saved.
