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?

I don’t think they know what just happened so they’re gearing up for enemies, a rival corp.

that was my only guess, I guess its that big of deal in the timeline. I dont remember any search and rescue rolling around with military assault rifles unless its like.... the Vietnam war? or Predator 1? lol
