The HECU marines heard conversing at the end of "Duty Calls" heavily imply that, had they landed successfully, Adrian Shephard and his team would've been among the groups tasked with eliminating all of Black Mesa's staff.Here, one scientist indicates that Black Mesa abused its funding to conduct numerous unethical and downright illegal experiments beyond the ones that lead to the Resonance Cascade, and that the government wiping out the staff would be a case of wanting to prevent another catastrophic event from happening. The original Half Life never explains why the HECU is tasked to wipe out all of Black Mesa's staff in addition to the Xen aliens, beyond some implications that they are to Leave No Witnesses.In the original game, Calhoun's first real encounter with the HECU is just before he gets to Harold.
