During the weeks before Reach's eventual [[glassing]], Noble Six partook in multiple operations against Covenant forces on Reach along with the rest of NOBLE Team, including [[Battle of Sword Base|a counter-offensive operation]] to retake the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s [[SWORD Base]] near the [[Babd Catha Ice Shelf]] on July 26. Six and Kat cleared the courtyard of enemies before being tasked with reactivating both [[Farragut Station]], a communications outpost they could use to get into contact with command, and [[Airview Base]], where they needed to activate an [[M71 Anti-Aircraft Gun|M71 "Scythe" anti-air battery]] to eliminate hostile aircraft. The Spartans moved into SWORD Base and Noble Six assisted [[Emile-A239]] in driving off several [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantoms]] and [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]]. After the skies had been cleared, the attacking [[SDV-class heavy corvette|Covenant corvette]] was destroyed by one of Reach's [[orbital defense platform]]s. Following the mission, NOBLE Team was debriefed by [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]], who questioned them about what had happened at the Visegrád Relay two days earlier. Six confirmed that the Elites fought there were Zealots, and the data chip was turned over to Dr. Halsey.<ref name="Sword Base">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[ONI: Sword Base]]''</ref>

On [[2552#August|August 11]], Noble Six and [[Jun-A266]], operating as [[Recon Team Bravo]], were sent to perform a nighttime reconnaissance mission into the Covenant "dark zone" in the [[Viery Territory]]. After stealthily eliminating guards at multiple outposts, the two Spartans met a group of [[Reach militia|civilian militiamen]] who led them to a [[Ütközet hydroelectric power plant|hydroelectric power plant]] farther within the dark zone; there, the team discovered a Covenant [[stealth pylon]]. After planting an explosive charge on the pylon, the team moved deeper into the dark zone, where they discovered a massive Covenant invasion force. Kat then ordered them back so they could prepare for the attack on the next day.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[Nightfall]]''</ref>

After returning to Reach via reentry, Noble Six headed to [[New Alexandria (location)|New Alexandria]], the trek taking him nine days. After arriving on August 23, he assisted [[UNSC Army]] troopers in repelling Covenant forces from the city and evacuating the civilian population. In particular, Six helped the [[Bullfrogs]] clear [[Traxus Tower]] of Covenant and aided [[Sergeant Major]] [[Duvall]] in severely damaging an {{Class|SDV|heavy corvette}} to enable the launch of evacuation ships with thousands of people on board.{{Ref/Reuse|Exodus}}

After helping with the evacuation, the Spartan managed to establish radio communication with NOBLE Team and participated in the removal of Covenant communication jammers to allow the evacuation of ONI personnel. The same evening, Six reunited with NOBLE Team and reported the details of UPPER CUT. After clearing the jammers, NOBLE Team was hailed by Colonel Holland and was ordered to destroy SWORD Base. During the hailing, though, the Covenant began glassing their sector of the city, forcing the team to flee to a radiation bunker. Kat was killed en route to the bunker, Six catching her body. Using her pistol, the Spartan attempted to shoot down [[Sangheili Field Marshal|her killer]], but ran out of ammunition and was forced to retreat. NOBLE remained trapped in the bunker for three days while the Covenant burned down the city before they finally emerged and were picked up by a search and rescue Pelican.<ref name="alex">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[New Alexandria]]''</ref>
