You don't typically send regular grunts to act as psuedo-spies. It takes some actual training and time to learn how to do that properly and effectively to where they can properly spot suspicious activity.

Then there's the political issue of if these grunts prevent a robbery, Atlas has to explain why a foreign nation snuck soldiers into the city. If you wanted to help, why do something underhanded and move in military troops instead of cooperaing with the local police? The only people who can get away with that is the Colombian National Police.

Then to make that point moot, the only hits they show Roman doing were both at night. So hiding troops in civilian clothes doesn't make much sense if you can move them in to stop him at night.
