On [[2526|April 26, 2526]], Fred and the rest of Blue Team were deployed to [[Circinius IV]] to combat the Covenant [[Fall of Circinius IV|invasion]], as well as to evacuate [[civilian]] populations and observe Covenant invasion patterns.<ref name="H5GLtd"/> During the battle, Blue Team received a distress signal from a [[Hastati Squad|cadet squad]] pinned down at [[Corbulo Academy of Military Science]]; these cadets were the only survivors on the entire planet.

Eventually, John and the [[Thomas Lasky|three]] [[Michael Sullivan|surviving]] [[April Orenski|cadets]] reached Blue Team's evacuation point and rendezvoused with Fred and Kelly, where their Pelican immediately dusted off to regroup with surviving UNSC forces in the planet's orbit as Circinius IV was [[Glassing|glassed]] by the Covenant.<ref name="FUD">'''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn''', ''Part 5''</ref>

Prior to [[2530]], Fred also participated in [[Operation: ROCK HOUSE]], in which he neutralized an insurrectionist facility and personnel on Eridanus II.<ref name="H5GLtd"/> By [[2531]], Fred and the rest of Blue Team had repeatedly disrupted the operations of the United Rebel Front, including at [[Station Jefferson]] in the Eridanus system, onboard the [[destroyer]] ''[[Origami]]'', in [[Wikipedia:Micronesia|Micronesia]], on Reach, and at a high-explosives manufacturing facility at an unspecified location.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 37''</ref> On [[2531|May 1, 2531]], Blue Team—then consisting of Fred, Kelly, Linda, John, and the recently added Kurt—had [[Raid on Camp New Hope|infiltrated]] the URF-controlled military base of [[Camp New Hope]] on [[Victoria]] to retrieve contraband [[nuclear weapon]]s.
