He was then taken to the human colony world of Reach and trained by the AI Déjà and Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez along with the rest of the SPARTAN children.

Main article: Battle of Arcadia

Douglas was a member of Red Team during the Battle of Arcadia in February 2531 and was tasked with delaying the Covenant forces long enough to evacuate the civilians of Arcadia.[3] Afterward, he and the rest of Red Team linked up with forces from the UNSC Spirit of Fire and assisted in a counter-attack on a Covenant outpost.[4] Once the plan to infiltrate a large Covenant energy shield dome was passed down from Captain James Cutter of the Spirit of Fire, he and Red Team remained with the crew to assist with the assignment. They prevented the destruction of several prototype M-145D "Rhino" artillery tanks while they ensured that the shield was destroyed.[5] After Sergeant John Forge's forces triumphed over a Scarab assault platform, the SPARTANs searched for Covenant survivors in the jungles on a Warthog.[6] Upon hearing that Professor Ellen Anders had been abducted by Arbiter Ripa 'Moramee, they went to the Spirit of Fire, which soon jumped into slipspace in pursuit of the Covenant vessel carrying Anders.[7] During the pursuit, Douglas fought Sergeant Forge over the former's recommendation to destroy the Covenant vessel carrying Professor Anders; the fight resulted in a broken chair and a broken bulkhead. However, the two always ate lunch in the mess hall together afterward.[8]

With the Spirit of Fire being dragged down inside the megastructure, Red Team was assisted Forge and his forces and successfully withdrew to the ship.[10] Red Team then assisted the crew in scouring the Flood forces from the hull of the Spirit of Fire.[11] Later, after the Spirit of Fire collided with a Covenant destroyer, Red Team successfully repelled Covenant boarders while the crew repaired the vessel's drive core.[12]

Once Anders was rescued, Douglas assisted Red Team in capturing a Covenant Scarab and used it to help Forge secure a beachhead.[13] The SPARTANs were then tasked with escorting the Spirit of Fire's slipspace drive to a teleporter that was linked to the Apex site.[14] On the Apex command center, he and the Red Team engaged numerous Sangheili while Forge dueled the Arbiter. Douglas, with the Spirit of Fire's crew, was then charged with opening the gate which allowed the Spirit of Fire to exit the Shield World.[15]
