They'd go out to recover the bodies of Grif, Simmons, Tucker and Caboose, in order to have the New Republic pay them their respects, find out that they really aren't dead, and that they were manipulated. That's why they'd go out.

I do think that the LT's will probably meet again with their supposedly dead commanding officers, but it'll be down the line.
