Another reason may be the fact that Haruhi is...unnerved...by A.C. (given that people saw her back down from A.C. during Serenity-con) and the rest off the SOS-dan are scared of her. I do have good reasons for the former, and the latter is a story follow on.
Anyway, Haruhi slapped a promotion to OF-7 on her about a day later as something of a revenge along with the position of being in charge of the covert insertion of the special forces to initially take Boskone One. It backfired a bit as A.C. proved extremely competent at her expanded duties. I can easily suppose a further promotion from other areas later.
Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer after all.
