How many Specialists did Ironwood take with him to Vale, though? Winter didn't even arrive until Volume 3, at least a month later.

At the least, he could've had Ironwood lead Team RWBY. Then again, that wouldn't have been as discreet, in regards to blending their mission in with the regular students' missions. Basically, that was Ozpin's idea - make it to where the common folk don't wonder what's going on because it just looks like Team RWBY is going on a normal first-year mission with a Beacon teacher just like all the other first-years.
