In 2552, when the [[Covenant]] attacked Reach, Freemont sent a signal to all UNSC ships in the Epsilon Eridani system,<ref group="note">Tantalus and Jericho were originally mentioned in the 2001 version of ''Halo: The Fall of Reach''. However, the ''2011 Definitive Edition'' removes the mention of Jericho and Tantalus.</ref> demanding an immediate recall of all vessels to Reach, due to a [[Fleet of Particular Justice|fleet]] of 314 Covenant vessels entering the system. He was supposedly [[Killed in action|KIA]] when the Covenant destroyed [[Fleet Command Headquarters|FLEETCOM HQ]]. He also ordered the [[Cole Protocol]] to be issued immediately for all vessels and stations in the area before his assumed death.<ref name="for"/>

During the battle of Reach, Admiral Freemont was in command of the [[Epsilon Eridani Fleet]], the largest UNSC fleet outside of [[Sol system|Sol]], consisting of 100-150 ships and 20 orbital [[Orbital Defense Platform|Mark V MAC stations]]. During the battle, Freemont copied tactics used by [[Hieronymus Michael Stanforth|Adm. Stanforth]] and organized his ship to fire in staggered salvos and used [[refit station]]s as sacrificial shields.
