Maybe the ship crashlanded on a UNSC controlled planet (the BGT just landed in a uninhabited jungle) that's currently going through a rebellion. Locus's "Control" discover that the ship has crashed on the surface of the planet, and orders him to investigate. Locus travel's to the crash site, where he discovers the Reds and Blues, and reports this back to his "Control". This makes them nervous, because of the BGT's reputation, and has Locus do recon on them.

Meanwhile, the UNSC come across the second half of the crashed ship, but don't know what to do about it. A couple of days later, they intercept radio signals from Locus about the Reds and Blues and the first half of the ship, so they send the Orange Guy to find out. He locates Crash Site Bravo and immediately discovers the BGT and confirms their presence on the planet. He and Locus then spot one another.

IDK, just a theory. It could set things up for a more complex plot. It would be interesting to see the BGT being held in the highest regard by soldiers worser than them. Also, I can totally see Washington telling the others "We shouldn't get involved in this war.", but somebody blackmails them into helping.
