Siege of Paris IV

Little is known about this battle except that it took place in 2549 and that Sergeant Avery J. Johnson distinguished himself in this major conflict.

Johnson and his Marines had captured a crate of Plasma Grenades and held off the Covenant forces at the main evacuation complex long enough for the evacuation ships to leave and get into orbit. The Plasma Grenades he had captured cntained a deadly amount of radiation, but instead of dying he contracted Boren's Syndrome, which kept him from being infected by Flood Infection Forms on Installation 04. However, some believe this is a cover-up to hide his special augmentation from the SPARTAN-I program, which he is believed to have participated in. He was extracted with severe injuries along with his men, but lived.

Sergeant Avery J. Johnson received a Commendation for Bravery during the mission.
