It just works.
Take Dash and Iron Will. Sit in the drop pod for like a minute and clear the cave. Dash out once it's safe. Don't rush, you'll need to practice to get the pacing right. The grenade is insurance for if you are getting overwhelmed from going too slowly.

Use Breach Cutter to stun groups, large enemies and while running away. Don't be afraid to waste a Breach Cutter shot if you're being chased by only a few bugs, since everything can kill you super quick.
Don't micro manage the sentries, just use all their ammo between resupplies to prevent getting overwhelmed by grunts or flying bugs.
