If you actually read the article on the MA5D then you'll know that it was around in 2526 though in limited use.
I did read the article, so i know that. I just think it would have made more sense for the people in Forward Unto Dawn to use the MA5B, which at that time, was the main UNSC assault rifle being issued. It doesn't make sense to me, that a bunch of rookies are being given new limited amount of MA5D's, instead of the older MA5B.
It would be as if the USA military hypothetically invented the M16A2 and A4 around the beginning of the Vietnam war, but even so, the military soldiers throughout the war were equipped with the M16A1. What would make it even weirder if that recruits being trained at boot camp during these days, were equipped with the newest A4, instead of being issued A1's.
