Out of all his squad mates, Bucks most complicated relationship was with Romeo due to his sarcasm and sardonic attitude. Though he respected Romeo's skills as a sniper, Buck was frequently annoyed with Romeo's attitude during missions, at one point ordering him to remain silent during the drop in New Mombasa after mocking the Navy's defeat only to be further annoyed when Romeo refused to speak until given permission after he and Buck reunited. Despite Romeo's less than agreeable personality, Buck genuinely cared for his safety and saved his life after Romeo was severely injured after being attacked by a Brute Chieftain.
Buck's impression of the [[Spartan-II]]s lined up with the rest of the ODST sentiment that they are "glory hounds," but softened into having an admiration for [[John-117]] after learning his military history and entering the SPARTAN-IV program, considering John as a "superhero."<ref name="coda">'''Halo: New Blood''', ''Coda''</ref> When Fireteam Osiris was assigned to hunt down [[Blue Team]] on Meridian, Buck vocally raised his concerns about hunting Blue Team, stating that everyone in the UNSC military would hate Osiris for carrying out their mission.<ref name="glassed"/> Buck developed a budding friendship with his squadmates in Fireteam Osiris as well, maintaining some levity with the high-risk situations they were trust into. Buck opened up about his relationship with Dare to [[Olympia Vale]], stating that the two women would get along well.<ref name="alliance"/> Compared to his professional experience with Dare, Buck has a friendly working relationship with ONI agent Jameson Locke, even cracking jokes when Locke saves him from fatal situations.<ref name="sunaion"/> When it comes to addressing his concerns about the nature of their mission, Locke is transparent in what must be done with some explanation.<ref name="glassed"/> Buck was able to talk to Dare about his assignment to Fireteam Osiris with Locke's permission much to Dare's surprise, especially with Locke's reputation as "ONI to the bone."<ref name="coda"/>
