On [[2526#March|March 7, 2526]], Johnson was called to a meeting on the {{UNSCShip|Everest}} with Admirals [[Preston Cole]] and [[Michael Stanforth]] as well as Doctor [[Catherine Halsey]]. With the war with the [[Covenant]] getting desperate, the three discussed options and revealed that they wanted Johnson, as a veteran of the [[First Battle of Harvest]] and a member of the [[ORION Project]], to be a part of whatever solution they came up with. Based on his own experiences on [[Harvest]], Johnson offered his opinions on the various Covenant races he had encountered. Johnson was informed of the existence of the [[SPARTAN-II]]s and their enhanced abilities. As the Spartans were only fifteen, Stanforth felt that they needed a sergeant to help lead and teach the Spartans, albeit one who wouldn't give orders. Though disgruntled about being effectively made into a babysitter, Johnson agreed to take up the role.<ref>'''Halo: Silent Storm''', ''chapter 4''</ref> | |||
Johnson subsequently took part in Operation: SILENT STORM, a counterattack against the Covenant aimed at buying humanity time to develop effective countermeasures against their seemingly unstoppable enemy.<ref>'''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'''</ref> Johnson worked closely with the Spartans of [[Blue Team]] and acted as a sniper covering [[John-117]] during the destruction of the Covenant logistics fleet.<ref>'''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]''', ''chapter 20''</ref> When John received a promotion to [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] from [[Colonel]] [[Marmon Crowther]], Johnson was present and stated that he and Crowther had talked the promotion over and both had agreed that it was the best thing for the mission as the unheard of four-rank promotion solidified John's authority over the [[21st Space Assault Battalion|Black Daggers]]. Along with Crowther, Johnson cautioned John about "leading from the front" and what could happen if they lost John in combat. Before going their separate ways, John thanked Johnson for showing him how much John didn't learn during Spartan training on [[Reach]] and Johnson promised to help him again anytime.<ref>'''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]''', chapter 23''</ref> | Johnson subsequently took part in Operation: SILENT STORM, a counterattack against the Covenant aimed at buying humanity time to develop effective countermeasures against their seemingly unstoppable enemy.<ref>'''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'''</ref> Johnson worked closely with the Spartans of [[Blue Team]] and acted as a sniper covering [[John-117]] during the destruction of the Covenant logistics fleet.<ref>'''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]''', ''chapter 20''</ref> When John received a promotion to [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] from [[Colonel]] [[Marmon Crowther]], Johnson was present and stated that he and Crowther had talked the promotion over and both had agreed that it was the best thing for the mission as the unheard of four-rank promotion solidified John's authority over the [[21st Space Assault Battalion|Black Daggers]].
