We only know of 8 combat active Special Class Investigators to begin with. 5 were deployed to Rue Island, the other 3 (Arima, Aura and Mougan) were kept on the mainland and stationed at vital points. We learned that V had at least one group of Special Class-level operatives led by Furuta that were wiped out by Eto.

But, all in all, Special Classes aren't easy to come by, and it's not crazy to think that CCG assumed S3 would be enough, since any threat Arima hasn't been able to hand himself is a threat almost all of CCG's elite forces combined can't handle.
