An Enforcer is a one mage army. Of COURSE she's there to stomp him into the ground. I fully expect everything short of 'Aku wo tatsu tsurugi' when she gets there.

Except that Hayate has the subtly of a thermonuclear weapon. Unisoned with Rein she's a doomsday weapon and she wouldn't be able to hold Jail because Jail knows they want to capture him. Hayate's lightest attack spell would probably erase his base from the face of the planet.
They need to disable, but not destroy, the Cradle. Which requires a surgical strike by people with experience in assaulting hostile installations.
They need a group of people who can fight in urban warfare situations against the Numbers.
They also need some more bodies at Jail's base to grab him before he squirms loose. They don't want him dead because they want to pick his brain to find out what he's left behind as a spoilsport measure.
