Almost immediately upon exiting slipspace, the ''Autumn'' came under attack from pursuing [[Covenant]] ships, and was soon boarded. The ship's Marine complement, Dubbo included, immediately set to work repelling the boarders. While engaging Covenant forces in a corridor nearby the bridge, Dubbo met an unarmed [[John-117]] heading for the bridge. Dubbo escorted the Chief the rest of the way, remarking that [[Jacob Keyes|the Captain]] wanted him there as soon as possible.<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]''</ref> He survived the destruction of the ''Autumn'', along with most of the other Marines, via an escape pod. Dubbo met the [[John-117|Master Chief]] on [[Installation 04|Halo]] again when his squad was under attack by Covenant forces. The Chief defended his squad until the [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] [[Echo 419]] came to evacuate the Marines.<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level ''[[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|Halo]]''</ref>

Dubbo later took part in a mission to rescue Captain Keyes, who had been captured by the Covenant, from the [[CCS-class battlecruiser|''CCS''-class battlecruiser]] ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]''. During their escape, he can be heard in the Covenant dropship, complimenting Keyes when he successfully rammed two [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]] with their stolen [[Type-25 Spirit|Spirit]].<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level ''[[The Truth and Reconciliation]]''</ref>

===Battle of Earth===

{{Main|Battle of Earth}}

By October 20, Dubbo was present on Earth's [[Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station]]<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Cairo Station]]''</ref>. Early in the [[Battle of Earth]], Dubbo aided [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] [[John 117]] in defending the station from Covenant boarding parties, at one point observing that the nearby [[Orbital Defense Platform]] [[Malta Station]] had almost instantly repulsed it's attackers. Dubbo's observation was preceded by the station's instant destruction by a large explosion from within. After driving off another wave of attackers, the prior scene repeated itself as [[Athens Station]] befell the same fate. Dubbo continued to defend the hangar bays as John-117 was tasked with locating a [[Covenant Bomb]] aboard the Cairo.

Arriving at Installation 05 on board the UNSC ''In Amber Clad'' on November 2, Dubbo was among the first wave of ODSTs dropped onto Installation 05 as part of the [[7th Shock Troops Battalion|7th ODST Battalion]]. Along with [[Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Stacker]], [[Sergeant Banks]] and several Marines from First Platoon, Dubbo supported John-117 as he made his way through Covenant-held ruins on his way to the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s [[Temple (Installation 05)|temple]].<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Delta Halo]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Regret (Halo 2 level)|Regret]]''</ref> When Sergeant [[Johnson]] and most of First Platoon were pulled out and reassigned to a [[Battle_of_the_Quarantine_Zone|mission]] to retrieve the index<ref name="Regret">'''[[Halo 2]]''' campaign level ''[[Regret (Halo 2 level)|Regret]]'', opening cutscene</ref>, Dubbo remained with the Spartan on a mission to assassinate the Prophet.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''' campaign level ''[[Regret (Halo 2 level)|Regret]]''</ref> Dubbo and another Marine accompanied John-117 through a series of Covenant-held structures, at one point coming across a holographic projection of Regret as he vowed to drive [[Humanity]] to extinction. As the trio entered Regret's temple however, [[High Charity]] and a Covenant fleet exited slipspace above the Ring, and shortly after John-117 killed the Prophet, the Temple was [[glassed]] by arriving Covenant ships.

===Battle of Earth===

Dubbo partook in the late stages of the Battle of Earth. Stationed in the UNSC base [[Crow's Nest]], Dubbo was present when it was [[Attack on Crow's Nest|attacked]] by the Covenant, assisting the Chief in clearing hostile forces from the base's south hangar, and was evacuated after the fight.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[Crow's Nest]]''</ref> Dubbo took part in the UNSC attack on Voi, punching through multiple waves of Covenant anti-air defenses and a [[Type-47B Scarab]] defending the [[Forerunner]] [[The Portal|artifact]].<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[The Storm]]''</ref>

As part of the crew in the UNSC ''Forward Unto Dawn'', Dubbo traveled through the Portal to [[Installation 00|The Ark]] and participated in the [[Battle of Installation 00]]. His Pelican was shot down by Covenant anti-air in a desert, and Dubbo lead the survivors to hide in the rocks above the crash site before Covenant forces arrived. After some time John-117 and a Squad of ODSTs arrived, and after retaking the crash site, Dubbo and the other Marines helped clear a [[landing zone]] for the UNSC ''Forward Unto Dawn''. Dubbo later assisted John-117, Thel 'Vadumee and 343 Guilty Spark in accessing Installation 00's [[Cartographer]], witnessing John-117's duel with [[Jiralhanae]] Chieftain [[Cethegus]], and aiding the Spartan in neutralizing an entire Brute Pack. <ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]''</ref> Dubbo evacuated the Ark with the rest of the surviving Marines and Sangheili aboard the ''[[Shadow of Intent]]''. During the [[Voi Memorial]] on [[2553|March 3, 2553]], Dubbo took part in the [[Wikipedia:Three-volley salute|Three Volley Salute]] for those fallen during battle.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]]''</ref>
