In [[2552]], Joshua took part in the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]]. He was designated as Red-One and led [[Red Team]] along the coast of a continent on [[Sigma Octanus IV]], in order to recon the wharfs around [[Côte d'Azur]] in preparation for a strike on the [[Covenant]] held city with a [[HAVOK Nuclear Warhead]]. His team was successful, and they subsequently retreated to a [[D77-TC|Pelican]] for dust off with no casualties, and only one Spartan injured ([[James-005]]), as the entire city, and tens of thousands of Covenant within it, were vaporized in the nuclear blast. | In [[2552]], Joshua took part in the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]].

Joshua was then on the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, in complete brevity until [[Covenant]] forces appeared above [[Reach]]. During the [[Fall of Reach]], Joshua was assigned to Red team and designated as ''Red Three''. As he and Fred descended to the surface of Reach, their Pelican, ''[[Bravo 001]]'', was shot down by air artillery. Joshua attempted to activate the auto pilot of the Pelican, but all of its computer systems had been destroyed.<ref name="FS9-10">'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 9''</ref> Joshua was, however, able to slow the vessel down enough so that the Spartans could make a "hard landing"; or jump out of the Pelican and land directly on the ground.<ref name="FS9-10"/> | Joshua was then on the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, in complete brevity until [[Covenant]] forces appeared above [[Reach]].
