Having served in the military, I think I can speak with some degree of authority on what is and isn't practical from a military point of view. And giving the Normandy priority over the ground force wouldn't be practical.
The destruction of the Normandy SR1 was not anywhere near as dramatic as the destruction of the dreadnought at the beginning of ME3. As such, there isn't any indication that destroying the Normandy would have caused significant casualties beyond the crew of the ship and the few Marines caught in the immediate vicinity. Also, the Normandy was deployed quite a ways back from the beam, making it much less of a priority than the tanks, gunships, and dismounted infantry that were much nearer to the beam and rapidly closing.

It is retarded, because instead of using stealth frigate to unload squad and support before unprotected beam, to lower the probabilty of reapers shutting down the beam, - command commenced entire ground operation, without air superiority and against overwhelming forces. So, at any moment of that operation, reapers just shut down the beam - and they won.Han Shot First wrote...
1. Entire beam rush is retarded: No, it isn't. It was a desperate gamble to be sure, but it isn't like they had other options. Conventional victory simply wasn't possible.
And don't tell me, that they can't shutdown their own beam.
If the Reapers could simply shut off the beam like fipping a light switch to the off position, whether or not the Alliance deployed frigates wouldn't matter in the slightest. In that case the beam could be shut down whether or not frigates were deployed, and the frigates wouldn't be able to stop it anymore than the ground force could.
As for unloading infantry...
I've already covered that. The frigates would then become priority targets and most would probably not even survive to disembark their troops. The infantry are safer while disbursed on the ground.

Who is in charge on Normandy when Shepard is ashore? And how and why that unknown person ignored admiral Hackett(or his subordinate in charge of Normandy frigate pack) orders thus endangering the fleet(leaving their position and role)?Han Shot First wrote...
2. Joker ignored chain of command: Where and when did that happen?!
Where and when did Admiral Hackett issue orders that the Normandy was not break off from Sword under any circumstances? Joker can't disobey orders that don't exist.

The Normandy and other frigates should have been directly involved in the beam rush: By being directly involved in the push rather than simply conducting medevacs, they would have made themselves priority targets. The Normandy likely would have been destroyed in that scenario. Furthermore deploying troops from the Normandy wouldn't have given the Alliance any advantage, when those troops are actually safer while dispersed on the ground. A single shot from Harbinger could annihilate entire platoon(s) aboard a frigate, where as with dismounted infantry he's only killing or wounding a relative handful at a time.
2. Risking over a 100 crew and advanced frigate to evacuate a exactly TWO squadmate is retarded and waste of resources. Also, ignoring other wounded is well.. you know, is retarded. Whoever gave Shepard rank higher than lieutenant should hang himself because of shame.
3. Deploying troops from Normandy would give tremendous advantage and element of surpise. You seem to forget, that Harbringer and his support were drawn to the beam because of that retarded ground assault.
1 and 2: A shuttle would have made more sense for the medevac, but just about every other criticism of the evac scene is invalid. It is also a minor issue, as the Normandy is more dramatic (in fiction sometimes drama trumps realism), and Cortez was potentially dead and the shuttle potentially destroyed.
3. Deploying troops from the Normandy just wouldn't have gotten the Normandy destroyed, and those troops along with it. The infantry is safer making the push while disbursed on the ground.
