Who are all the dead marines in Halo: Reach and where did they come from?
In the final "level" of Halo: Reach, Lone Wolf, Noble Six is fighting, supposedly in/around the breaking yards. Around him (/her) there are many dead marines. Now, where did they all come from? I get that there are many dead military personnel on Reach, but is there a (preferably canon) explanation for who these dead marines are, where they came from, and how Noble comes to fight his last battle among their bodies?

Are you referring to the "bonus level" where it is just survival for as long as you can?

Looks like people on the 'net have asked/theorized about this...
Halo Nation:
The team's mission is unknown, but it can be assumed that they were
deployed to fend off the Covenant attack on the Aszod territory near
the ship breaking facilities. SPARTAN-B312 discovered the bodies of
thirteen members of the team during the closing stages of the Fall of
Reach. It is possible, though unlikely, that some members survived,
as the team's composition is unknown. The team may have included all
or part of either Echo or Gauntlet teams, or both, as both teams were
present on Reach during the invasion.
These SPARTANs may or may not also be any members of SPARTAN-RED team
that was split into four smaller teams (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and
Delta). Any one of the missing SPARTANs from these teams could be any
one of these dead SPARTANs. Another possibility is that those Spartans
were, as Noble Six, survivors of other squads, and reunited there to
fight to the end for Reach.
Halopedia:
Thirteen dead Spartans can be found around the level Lone Wolf.
The bodies are those of presumedly SPARTAN-IIIs and are scattered
around the landscape. Their armor is randomized, with different
configurations and genders every time the level is loaded. The fact
that there are thirteen of them may be a reference to the number
seven, as at the end of his/her last stand Noble Six becomes the
fourteenth dead Spartan in the area.
The Spartans' mission is unknown. They were assumedly deployed to fend
off the Covenant attack on the Aszod territory near the ship breaking
facilities. The team may have included all or part of Red, Gauntlet
and/or Echo teams, as all three teams were present on Reach during the
invasion.
