But what i don't understand is why the soldiers showed up so late?
The implication is that the soldiers were hanging back and observing the group before making contact. This would partly be common sense, and partly (given what we later find out about the soldiers, and their plans for Selena and Hannah) to size up Frank and Jim. They probably would have ended up having to kill Frank anyway; Major West tells Jim he wants to give him a chance to join them, but there's no way they'd expect Hannah's father to just stand around while she gets gang-raped.
Anyway, the soldiers make their move right after Frank gets infected and starts raging, because that's when he's become a danger to Selena and Hannah. Their main motive is to bring the women in alive and unharmed, albeit for all the wrong reasons.

I thought that too. I think had Frank not died and the group just given up and tried to leave they would have found a way to split them up so they could kidnap the women. When Frank turned he became a risk so they had to expose themselves to take him down, but I'm sure they took Jim along reluctantly.
