In [[2552]], Joshua took part in the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]]. He was designated as Red-One and led [[Red Team]] along the coast of a continent on [[Sigma Octanus IV]], in order to recon the wharfs around [[Côte d'Azur]] in preparation for a strike on the [[Covenant]] held city with a [[HAVOK Nuclear Warhead]].

His team was successful, and they subsequently retreated to a [[D77-TC|Pelican]] for dust off with no casualties, and only one Spartan injuried ([[James (SPARTAN-II)|James]]), as the entire city, and tens of thousands of Covenant within it, were vaporized in the nuclear blast. | ||

Joshua was then on the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, in complete brevity until [[Covenant]] forces appeared above [[Reach]]. During the [[Battle of Reach]], Joshua was assigned to Fred's team and designated as Red Three. As he and Fred descended to the surface of Reach, their Pelican, [[Bravo 001]], was shot down by air artillery. Joshua attempted to activate the auto pilot of the Pelican, but all of its computer systems had been destroyed<ref>[[Halo: First Strike]], page 9.</ref>. Joshua was, however, able to slow the vessel down enough so that the Spartans could make a "hard landing"; or jump out of the Pelican and land directly on the ground<ref>[[Halo: First Strike]], pages 9-10.</ref>. | Joshua was then on the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, in complete brevity until [[Covenant]] forces appeared above [[Reach]].

Once landed, Joshua found a [[SRS99C-S2 AM Sniper Rifle|Sniper Rifle]] and was the first Spartan to arrive at [[ODG Facility A-331]], and spot [[Charlie Company]]. He then radioed Fred and the Spartans were able to regroup at the facility. Fred then ordered Joshua to recon the area. Joshua was the Spartan who spotted a Covenant landing zone and patched the image through to Fred using his [[COM]]<ref>[[Halo: First Strike]], page 21.</ref>. Joshua, Fred, and [[Kelly-087]] then piloted [[Banshees]] toward the [[Gravity Lift]] of the Covenant cruiser and threw a [[Fury Tactical Nukes|Fury Tac Nuke]] into it.

If he crashed, it is unlikely that he survived the blast, and even more unlikely that he survived the subsequent [[glassing]] of Reach.
