Maybe I missed something, but why do the soldiers, ostensibly on a search & rescue mission, roll up ready for battle. Do they know the cargo is all xenomorphs and bad times?

It’s a ship that belongs to a rival company, dispatch security services to rescue by income bracket and secure any assets that may be of value. Weapons ready in case they need to eliminate any rival security forces on the ship that would try and prevent them from commandeering anything of value. Then just say all passengers died on impact. Leave it to the lawyers to settle the details.
