Off to an interesting start, with a lot of possibilities.
A detailed description of the dinos, from the human standpoint would be good in the next chapter: how big are they, are they fully anthropomorphic, or have a very saurian posture, what does their hide look like, language sound like, are they the same size, etc.
It will be most interesting to see how the dinos view the humans, and how humanity reacts to the new species.
Armor that stops a 40mm grenade cold and particle beams makes for some high tech, oyu will probably want to describe ether matching high tech as well: advanced computers, sensors, communications, medicine, etc.
Keep up the great work!

Here's an interesting tidbit of info that I didn't know until last year. The UK spelling is towards, but the US spelling is toward. Similarly with other directional words, like forwards vs forward, backwards vs backward, etc... I mention it because in the first paragraph you use 'towards'. I used to make the same mistake myself.
Also, on a more important note, watch out for cliched phrases. For instance: "The atmosphere had become thick with anticipation". I suggest describing the anticipation instead of stating that it's there. Here's a way you could have gone: "Claws clicked on the cold, metal flooring, tails swished with an audible whoosh, and teeth clattered as they all began to suffer the headiness of the anticipation." You can see the scene that much better with something like that.
Another thing that I think could be helped is that you say what each dinosaur is, but you don't describe them. That may be okay with a Triceratops, as everybody knows what they are, but not many people know what a Hypsilophodon is.
And we are all very interested in what becomes of Staff Sergeant Kerry!
