Ellison and the woman were the agents in charge.  Note that they were
_not_ 
kitted up in full armor.  They would have been the last ones thru the door

and even then only if the tactical team had secured the premises.  Of
course 
the terminator is going to concentrate first on the ones taking offensive 
action against it.  After that it all went down in a handbasket with the 
tactical team realizing too late that they couldn't handle it and trying
to 
retreat under fire.  Contrary to what they were trained to expect, the 
suspect (aka terminator) aggressively followed them out and everything
went 
downhill even faster at that point.
