Later in the campaign, Dalton assisted Palmer, [[Jared Miller]], and Fireteam Crimson during the hunt for [[Sangheili]] [[terrorism|terrorist]] [[Parg Vol]]—an associate of [[Jul 'Mdama]]. While monitoring drone footage, Dalton discovered that Vol had accumulated a considerable number of stolen UNSC assets. Dalton requested Palmer to have Crimson recover the assets. After Crimson succeeded, Dalton supplied them with weapons, vehicles, and eventually extracted the fireteam.{{Ref/Reuse|vip}} When [[Galileo Base]] became under siege from Covenant forces, Dalton attempted to activate the facility's defense system remotely, but the Covenant had jammed the wireless up-link from ''Infinity''. Instead, Crimson had to activate the defenses manually.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Catherine/Galileo|S1E3 ''Galileo'']]</ref> Later, at [[Two Giants]], an considerable amount of Covenant forces made their way for Crimson as Dalton prepared an "emergency dispatch" on ''Infinity''. Later, a Covenant {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}} made its way over Crimson's location. Palmer had Dalton send a Pelican to evacuate Crimson, despite Dalton warning of the [[dropship]]'s possible destruction.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Catherine/Shootout in Valhalla|S1E3 ''Shootout in Valhalla'']]</ref> Dalton later aided in Crimson's evacuation after the team eliminated Parg Vol. After Dalton supplied Crimson with weapons, Palmer ordered him to arrange an airstrike to help the Spartans. As multiple Phantoms made their way to Crimson, Dalton had a strike group of several [[F-41 Broadsword]]s destroy the dropships and later he sent a Pelican to finally pick up Crimson.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Catherine/Hunting Trip|S1E3 ''Hunting Trip'']]</ref>

While Crimson was on another operation, Dalton began to realize that he was suddenly unable to track Covenant aircraft like usual. He discovered a nearby Covenant jammer and sent Crimson to destroy it.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Didact's Hand/Rally Point|S1E4 ''Rally Point'']]</ref> Later, Dalton gave Crimson control of a [[suppressive fire drone]].<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Didact's Hand/The Chase|S1E4 ''The Chase'']]</ref> After Crimson brought the "[[Didact's Gift]]" to [[Galileo Base]], Dalton detected an incoming Phantom approaching the facility. Dalton later sent [[Fireteam Majestic]] to aid Crimson.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Didact's Hand/The Didact's Gift|S1E4 ''The Didact's Gift'']]</ref> Sometime later, Dalton warned Crimson of an incoming {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}} and later provided extraction for the fireteam.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Memento Mori/Everything Has Gone Wrong|S1E5 ''Everything Has Gone Wrong'']]</ref> During another of Crimson's operations, he provided weapons and an evacuation. However, Crimson was ultimately captured by the Covenant.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Memento Mori/Spartan Thorne|S1E5 ''Spartan Thorne'']]</ref> After [[Roland]] discovered Crimson's location, Dalton caused an explosion to distract the Sangheili guards while Miller freed the Spartans. Although Dalton called in a Pelican to evacuate Crimson, the fireteam was too deep behind enemy lines. Because of this, Miller had them hijack a Phantom instead.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Scattered/Escape Plan|S1E6 ''Escape Plan'']]</ref> While Crimson was on their way to answer [[Fireteam Switchback]]'s distress call, Commander Palmer and Miller debated whether a nearby {{Pattern|Za'zayara|Harvester}} was active or not. To ensure it would not pose a threat, Palmer had Crimson destroy the interior controls.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Scattered/Switchback|S1E6 ''Switchback'']]</ref>
