From 2532 onwards he continued to expose the truth behind war with harrowing pictures from the frontlines against the Covenant.

The photos covering the [[Battle of Mombasa]] in 2552 are undoubtedly his most famous. His unlimited access to the UNSC regiment resulted in a series of photographs that enabled the world to see the heroic acts of the soldiers in battle – including John-117. In a quote from Jake Courage taken during the battle, he said, ''"I’ve got to know these soldiers’ lives intimately. One man, I consider my friend... he is the human face of war. He is Spartan 117, he is Master Chief."'' | The photos covering the [[Battle of Mombasa]] in 2552 are undoubtedly his most famous.

Traditionally, war photographers use an inbuilt retina camera or helmet-cam; however, Courage preferred more traditional methods that enabled him to have more control over his landscape. He mainly used a Dynamo 507 3D with ultra 4Res lens and quadric digital transfer. The 900-nanosecond transfer rate enabled photos to be transferred back to base instantly. His equipment was always coated in a substance made from titanium and cockroach shell that enabled it to withstand the radiation. It should also be noted that he preferred to shoot in an archaic sepia tone instead of full tonal color. | Traditionally, war photographers use an inbuilt retina camera or helmet-cam; however, Courage preferred more traditional methods that enabled him to have more control over his landscape.
