Carter's leadership skills in and out of combat throughout his military career eventually earned him the rank of Commander in the UNSC Navy, becoming one of the few highly ranked Spartans to serve in the field. Later, after the special forces unit [[Noble Team]] was formed, Carter became the leader of the team, which then consisted of [[Catherine-B320]] and several other Spartans. Eventually however only Kat and Carter would survive as the remaining members of the original team by 2552, and Carter was given a lot of freedom in selecting replacement personnel by his superiors due to his ability to build tight-knit teams.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} | Carter's leadership skills in and out of combat throughout his military career eventually earned him the rank of Commander in the UNSC Navy, becoming one of the few highly ranked Spartans to serve in the field.

Carter and the rest of Noble Team were present during the [[Defense of Concord]] on [[2551|December 2551]]. During [[Operation: OFFSET EYE]], Carter remained back in the village of [[Skathi]] in the [[Hinterlands region]] of the planet to direct the local planetary militias in the town's defence while a small force consisting of Kat-B320, [[Rosenda-A344]], and [[Thom-A293]] advanced forward to tackle the approaching Covenant armoured column head-on; eliminating a {{Pattern|Zashk|Draugr}} in the process. Upon the trio's return to Skathi, Carter, [[Jorge-052]], and [[Emile-A239]] had assisted in fending off Covenant attacks on the town, at which point Carter recieved new orders from [[Colonel]] [[Urban Holland]]. The Covenant were amassing a strike force close to [[Fumirole]], and the team (sans Rosenda) were to be redeployed to the planet to prepare a defence.{{Ref/Novel|Winter Contention}} | Carter and the rest of Noble Team were present during the [[Defense of Concord]] on [[2551|December 2551]].
