After the war, Dinh was part of [[Operation: INTERIOR EXILE]], which would result in failure.{{Ref/Site|Id=S3Intel|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/echoes-within-intel|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo Infinite - Echoes Within Intel|D=10|M=03|Y=2023|LocalArchive=Halo Infinite Story & Intel}}{{Ref/Game|Id=echoesintro|HI|Detail=[[Season 03: Echoes Within Intro Cinematic]]}}

===Spartan-IV service===

He would eventually be recruited into the [[SPARTAN-IV program]]. Shortly thereafter, his [[fireteam]] was assigned a mission that had them breach and raid a fledgling [[Yanme'e]] hive inside of a derelict [[Forerunner]] structure. The raid was ultimately a disaster; Dinh escaped with severe wounds, but the rest of his team perished.{{Ref/Site|Id=S2StoryHub|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo Infinite|D=06|M=05|Y=2022|LocalArchive=Halo Infinite Story & Intel|Detail=Defunct page; available on linked archive only}}{{Ref/Site|Id=S2Intel|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/halo-infinite-lone-wolves-intel|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo Infinite - Lone Wolves Intel|D=03|M=11|Y=2022|LocalArchive=Halo Infinite Story & Intel}} Dinh was left scarred by this experience in the Yanme'e hive, though his close call with death left him resilient in similarly-perilous scenarios. Later on, he would work alongside [[Laurette Agryna]] as they both earned experience as Spartans.{{Ref/Reuse|HIInter}}{{Ref/Reuse|S2StoryHub}}{{Ref/Reuse|S2Intel}} After the [[The Reclamation|rise]] of the [[Created]], Dinh fought against the [[Banished]] in several close-quarters engagements, including [[boarding]] actions. At some point, he would meet Spartan [[Sigrid Eklund]] during the [[Vihar collapse]].{{Ref/Game|HI|Alpha Pack}}

During the [[Created conflict]], between [[2559]] and [[2560]], Spartans Dinh and Eklund were deployed to one of several Banished shipbreaking yards in the [[Chiltift Basin]] on [[Camber]].{{Ref/Reuse|CFLore}}{{Ref/Reuse|S2StoryHub}}{{Ref/Reuse|S2Intel}} This particular facility was a former UNSC fleet depot that the Banished took over.{{Ref/Reuse|CFLore}} Eklund and Dinh began scouting out the location, using intermittent dust storms as cover. At some point, the two Spartans spilt up, but planned to regroup and move deeper into the facility under the cover of the next dust storm.{{Ref/Reuse|S2StoryHub}}{{Ref/Reuse|S2Intel}} After watching the operation for two days, both Spartans discovered [[Iratus]], the first Banished AI in existence, alongside an archive detailing all Banished operations on the moon. Eklund and Dinh were discovered by Banished forces and managed to hijack an [[Eklon'Dal Workshop Phantom]], but Iratus followed them into their hijacked Phantom, threatening their escape. To have a chance to escape, Dinh allowed Iratus to infect his [[neural interface]], threatening his life.{{Ref/Game|HI|Season 02: Lone Wolves}}

Both Spartans managed to bring their Phantom into the [[Avery J. Johnson Academy of Military Science]], where Eklund informed Spartan Commander [[Laurette Agryna]] about their operation on Camber. In an effort to pull Iratus out of Dinh's neural interface, Agryna uploaded a [[Breaker|simulation]] of the Banished facility on Camber into the Academy's combat simulator, and assigned Spartans to participate in the simulation to act as bait, and trap Iratus into an ONI server. The plan was seemingly a success, and Iratus was trapped, saving Dinh's life.{{Ref/Game|id=HIInter|HI|Interference}}

Dinh employs the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|Mjolnir]] [[RAKSHASA-class Mjolnir|Rakshasa]] armor, shaped by his experiences against the Banished and surviving for long periods alone in the field in the wake of the [[The Reclamation|rise of the Created]]. He wears an [[Artaius]] helmet taken from a small run of prototypes intended for a new classification of [[powered exoskeleton]].{{Ref/Reuse|CFLore}} The helmet is equipped with a [[TAS/PATTON]] module. He wore the UTIL/TECCNIQE IOTA-12 on his left shoulder and a Banished war-trophy, the shoulder pad of a [[Special Operations Officer|Spec Ops Sangheili]], on his right one. He also wore the AAP/HEARTPLATE chest attachment and the UA/Type MEP[B] knee pads.
