Well, if Exalted represent characters with extremely potent powers and stuff, you can treat each PC as an individual unit element ("Hero" element in the rules), with a TS all its own. So the PC represented as a mass combat unit is certainly possible, and might be a better way to represent characters that can take on whole armies.
You can also use individual heroic actions with a certain amount of GM Fiat, replacing or supplementing contests of reconnaissance as one example.
