Reynolds was present during the [[Battle of Earth]]. On the morning of November 17, [[2552]], Reynolds and [[Bravo Team|his squad]] of Marines were deployed to the jungles near [[Mount Kilimanjaro]] as part of the UNSC force tasked with retrieving [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN]] [[John-117]], who had crash-landed in the area after exiting the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] containing the [[Prophet of Truth]]. While his team was searching for John-117, he alerted [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson]] to the fact that there was [[Covenant]] activity nearby. However, doing so gave away his position and he and his squad immediately came under attack by a [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantom]] dropship and a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]], and all of Bravo, except for him, were killed.

Reynolds was soon captured by a [[Jiralhanae Captain]]. The Covenant soldier held him atop a log bridge and demanded the location of the UNSC base [[Crow's Nest]], but Reynolds' only response was "kiss my ass." Just as the Jiralhanae was about to kill him, John-117's squad intervened and killed the alien. Reynolds then jumped off the bridge, grabbed a nearby [[MA5C assault rifle|assault rifle]] and informed the Spartan of his situation. Reynolds then joined the Spartan in his mission to rendezvous with Sergeant [[Avery Johnson]] at the extraction point by the river. Johnson's [[D77H-TCI Pelican|Pelican]] and it's escort were both shot down by Covenant [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]]. Reynolds and the Master Chief continued through the jungle and saved Johnson, who had been captured by the Covenant. Killing all Covenant present, including a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]], the UNSC forces were able to return to Crow's Nest.<ref name="sierra"/>

Reynolds soon received a distress call from Gunnery Sergeant [[Stacker]], who had been leading a convoy intended to bring supplies to the beleaguered UNSC forces in Voi. The convoy was unfortunately strafed by Banshees and while pinned down, a large Covenant ground force attacked them. Fortunately, Reynolds and John-117 were nearby and were able to clear out the Covenant presence. The UNSC force continued onward, but were forced to leave their vehicles shortly after as part of the highway had been destroyed. Continuing on foot, Reynolds and his men freed up another squad of Marines under attack. After holding off many waves of attacking Covenant troops, including a [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraith]] tank, several resupply Pelicans moved in, providing more Warthogs and troops. Mobilizing once again, the UNSC forces punched through a huge Covenant vehicular force and breach the final Covenant defensive lines barricading the way into Voi.

{{Main|Battle of Voi}}


Reynolds and his platoon pushed into Voi, entering the [[Traxus Factory Complex 09]], which had mostly fallen to the Covenant by this point. Their objective was to destroy all Covenant Anti Air batteries that were preventing [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood|Hood]]'s [[UNSC Home Fleet|ships]] from engaging the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s [[Forerunner Dreadnought]]. They pushed through the first area of the facility, catching many Covenant troops off-guard. They then entered the first lake bed, where a single [[Type-52 Anti-Aircraft Artillery|AA Wraith]] was located. Succeeding in destroying the Covenant armor, Reynold and his men continued through the facility, meeting with a group of Marines with [[M41 SPNKR|rocket launchers]] and [[M274 Ultra-Light All-Terrain Vehicle|Mongoose]] ATVs, who were preparing to assault the next lake bed, where more AA was located. After a huge battle, which saw the UNSC forces destroy many Covenant vehicles, as well [[Type-47B Scarab|Scarab]], Reynolds and his men emerged victorious.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[The Storm]]''</ref>
Reynolds supported John-117 in the assault on [[Traxus Factory Complex 09]] in [[Voi|South Voi]].<ref name="H3-Sstorm">'''''[[Halo 3]]''''' - ''[[The Storm]]''</ref> There, they eliminated a heavy Covenant presence, including multiple [[Type-52 Anti-Aircraft Wraith|Anti-Aircraft Wraiths]] and a [[Type-47B Scarab|Scarab]]. Reynolds took charge of a makeshift UNSC Command Center, while Stacker continued to aid John-117 and the Arbiter [[Thel 'Vadam]] in liberating a Covenant-held factory interior.


Later, when the [[Flood]]-controlled [[Indulgence of Conviction|battlecruiser]] crashed in the area, Reynolds was one of the few Marines who survived the onslaught of the parasitic creatures. He was ultimately able to escape from the city before it was [[Glassing|glassed]] by the newly-arrived [[Sangheili]] [[Fleet of Retribution]]. After the Flood were contained, the [[UNSC]] forces regrouped up on the Sangheili [[Assault Carrier|Carrier]], ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' where [[Terrence Hood|Admiral Hood]] and [[Fleet Master]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]] discussed an assault on Covenant forces through [[the Portal]].<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[Floodgate]]''</ref>

===Battle of Installation 00===
===Battle of Installation 00===
During the [[Battle of Installation 00]], Reynolds, Stacker and [[Avery Johnson|Johnson]] organized a makeshift [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marine]] armored unit from the ''[[Forward Unto Dawn]]'' for an assault on [[Installation 00|the Ark]]. He helped Sergeant Stacker and [[John-117]] lead a platoon of [[M808 Scorpion MBT]]s against a battalion-sized Covenant armored force, along with a Scarab outside of the Cartographer building. The UNSC were successful in destroying all Covenant forces and allowing SPARTAN John-117 and a small strike force to proceed into the complex.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]''</ref>

Later in the battle, Reynolds was part of an strike force with the goal of deactivating three of the barrier towers providing shielding for the Citadel in which the Prophet of Truth had taken refuge and planned to activate the Halo rings from. He was part of the force that went with John-117 to neutralize the first tower. The strike force was successful in their mission, and by the end of the battle, the Prophet of Truth was dead and the Covenant was effectively destroyed.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]]''</ref>
