[Star Wars: Rogue One] The Battle of Scarif Question [Spoilers]

During the Battle of Scarif, there are Rebel Transports present, anyone know the purpose of them being there? Planning to land more troops? Fighter transports?

The rebels didn't have the luxury of a huge fleet of dedicated warships. When they went into a big space battle they had to throw everything available at it. If a transport ship has guns it's a combat ship to the rebels.
