In [[2544]],<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach|Halo: The Fall of Reach (2010)]]''', ''Adjunct''</ref> following the [[Battle of Miridem|Battle]] of [[Miridem]], Fred participated in [[Operation: WARM BLANKET|an ONI-led operation]] which required a team of Spartan-IIs, consisting of [[Solomon-069]], [[Arthur-079]], Kelly-087, John-117, and himself, to infiltrate Covenant-controlled space at [[Ascon]] via [[OF92 Booster Frame]]s and rescue the captured Halsey from the Covenant's [[Third Fleet of Glorious Consequence]]. The Covenant fleet was temporarily unable to enable their [[slipspace drive]]s due to a stellar magnetic field, providing the Spartans some time to retrieve the package before the Covenant fleet departed. During the course of the operation, Arthur and Solomon were killed by the Covenant. The surviving Spartans then infiltrated the [[Supreme Commander]] [[Luro 'Taralumee]]'s [[Resplendent Fervor|flagship]] and fought their way through numerous Covenant forces. When [[Sangheili Major|Major]] [[Thel 'Lodamee]] and two [[Sangheili Minor]]s attacked the Spartans, Fred held them off and engaged them in combat to allow John and Kelly to advance towards Halsey's position. After getting separated from Kelly, John managed to rescue Halsey and escape the ship in a [[Covenant escape pod]], while Fred and Kelly covered them with hijacked [[Type-31 Seraph]]s. The operation was successful, with the Spartans escorting Halsey back to the [[ONI PRO-49776|stealth ship]] that deployed them.<ref name="package">'''[[Halo Legends]]''', ''[[The Package]]''</ref>

On [[2552#August|August 30, 2552]], [[Senior Chief Petty Officer]] Fred was assigned on {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} in the Epsilon Eridani system as part of the Spartan-II contingent of [[Operation: RED FLAG]], an ONI operation with the objective to capture a Covenant [[Hierarch]]. However, the mission was aborted as all ships were ordered to defend Reach from [[Fall of Reach|a massive Covenant assault]]. John assigned Fred to lead Red Team, which was sent to land on the ground and protect the [[Orbital defense generator|power generators]] for Reach's [[orbital defense platform]]s.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 341'' (2010)</ref> As Red Team's Pelican—[[Bravo 001]]—descended to the surface of the planet, the dropship was attacked by Seraphs and dove uncontrollably towards the ground. Fred ordered Red Team to jump from the Pelican and the resulting impact killed four of the Spartans on Red Team; however, if they had not jumped, all Spartans would have died as Bravo 001 exploded shortly after. After regrouping and eliminating several small Covenant patrols, the Spartans traveled to [[Orbital Defense Generator Facility A-331]], where they met with the four survivors of the nearly destroyed [[Charlie Company]]. While Red Team was building defenses at the facility, they received a distress call from Vice Admiral [[Danforth Whitcomb]], [[Deputy Chief of Naval Operations]].<ref name="fs17">'''Halo: First Strike''', ''pages 17-34'' (2010)</ref>

Fred then divided his Spartans into four teams: himself, Kelly, and [[Joshua-029]]—comprising [[Team Alpha]]—were to destroy a nearby Covenant [[landing zone]] at [[Longhorn Valley]], while [[Team Gamma]], led by [[Anton-044]] with two other Spartans, would rescue Vice Admiral Whitcomb and his staff. [[Team Delta]], led by [[William-043]] and consisting of the wounded Spartans and the Marines would secure a fallback position at [[CASTLE Base]] and the fourth team, [[Beta-Red|Team Beta]], consisting of the rest of the Spartans, would defend the ODG facility.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''pages 36-37'' (2010)</ref> Operating [[Type-26 Banshee]]s, Fred and Team Alpha successfully destroyed the landing zone by delivering [[Fury tactical nuclear weapon|Fury tactical nukes]] into the [[gravity lift]] of a [[Covenant cruiser at Longhorn Valley|Covenant cruiser]] overhead. However, Joshua was killed in the resulting explosion and Team Beta at the ODG facility appeared to be wiped out by [[Covenant battleship]]s and [[Covenant cruiser|cruisers]] [[glassing]] the area.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''pages 40-45'' (2010)</ref> Fred and Kelly then retreated to the fallback position, which was surrounded by Covenant forces. The two Spartans were forced to commandeer [[Type-26 Wraith]] tanks, and they successfully arrived at CASTLE Base with some support from Team Delta's survivors—Will, [[Vinh-030]], and [[Isaac-039]]. After Kelly whistled ''[[Oly Oly Oxen Free]]'' into the base's speakers, they were able to enter the facility where they encountered Halsey.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''pages 137-147'' (2010)</ref> Despite the injuries Fred and Will suffered, with Fred having a torn Achilles tendon, three cracked ribs, and moderate contusions in both kidneys, Halsey had the two Spartans travel to another section in the base to retrieve some equipment, as they were the least injured among the Spartans.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 151'' (2010)</ref> After the two treated some of their injuries, Fred and Will retrieved new weapons and parts of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V Mjolnir]] to repair their damaged armor.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 164'' (2010)</ref>
