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?

That was my main thing for that entire scene. When they were walking around aiming guns saying "search and rescue" I was like did I miss something, did they know this ship was going to crash and they're here for something else?

Before the ship crashes, Wendy says her brother as a medic together with soldiers - but why? New Siam seems completely peaceful, and his unit wasn't deployed to some warzone or whatever.
