Prior to or during [[2555]], [[Edward Buck]] participated in reconnaissance and strike operations in one such zone as part of [[Operation: KINETIC STORM]].{{Ref/Game|Id=H5GLtd|Halo 5: Guardians Limited Edition|[[Halo 5: Guardians Limited Edition dossiers#Edward Buck|Dossier files]] - Edward Buck}} Between [[2557#May|May 6]] and [[2557#June|June 1, 2557]], ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' participated in an operation with [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Navy|Navy]] elements against [[piracy|pirates]] in a Joint Occupation Zone.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm2969311_Catalog-Interaction.aspx|Site=Halo Waypoint Forums|Page=Catalog Interaction|D=13|M=10|Y=2014|LocalArchive=Catalog/Archive/2014#Post #6|Quote=Participated in [exercitatio] with Human naval elements [May 6, 2557 - June 1, 2557] against [latrones] in mixed zone of control [ref: Joint Occupation Zone]}} In early [[2558]], there was an increase of [[Jiralhanae]] raids on these territories due to the Jiralhanae's dwindling resources.{{Ref/Comic|HEsc|Issue=1}}
 
Even between [[human]]s and [[Sangheili]], inter-species coexistence in the zones was not always seamless. On the jointly settled colony of [[Carrow]], tensions came to a head after the militantly anti-human Sangheili [[Thars 'Sarov]] rose to power among the planet's Sangheili populace, resulting in an outbreak of violence between Thars' followers and the planet's [[Carrow militia|human militia]].{{Ref/Anthology|HFra|Oasis}} This later escalated into [[Carrow Conflict|full-scale civil war]] after Thars made a deal with the [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] [[Hekabe]] for his help. The situation was complicated by the fact that Hekabe had in fact come to the planet seeking to use the [[Sharquoi]] as a weapon to destroy his enemies. Thars, Hekabe and the Sharquoi were defeated with the aid of [[SPARTAN-II]] [[Gray Team]], released from their captivity during the battle by [[Melody Azikiwe]], but the fight left both the humans and Sangheili with heavy casualties and Carrow without any sort of a defensive fleet. As a result, the Sangheili on the planet became more cooperative with the humans. A new interspecies team was formed to protect both species from Forerunner artifacts that kept surfacing in the JOZs and endangering everyone where the UNSC was too far away to respond quickly. Gray Team agreed to become a part of this new team, albeit mainly acting on their own, with the promise of a formal pardon for [[Operation: SUNSPEAR|destroying]] [[Glyke]].{{Ref/Novel|HEnv}} They currently operate in a joint strike team alongside [[Sangheili]] personnel based out of a personal {{Class|Winter|prowler}}, {{UNSCShip|Perilous Contest}}.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=69}}
