However, when a rebel was cornered in a Jim Dandy restaurant, Byrne told Johnson to fire a M99 Stanchion gauss-rifle at an Insurrectionist holding a child hostage. Johnson did not, leading to the boy's father tackling the woman, and the destruction the Jim Dandy restaurant along with Marines and thirty some civilians.

Later Byrne joined Johnson on Harvest to help train the Colonial Militia on that planet. He and Johnson fought four Jackals in the first battle between the UNSC and Covenant, and they successfully defeated them. As the conflict heated up, Byrne continued to defend the planet from Covenant hostiles and he received multiple injuries in the conflict. He was fortunate enough to live through the battle, and evacuated with Johnson and company in a Pod heading from the Tiara.
