==== Battle of The Frozen Pass ====
Being deployed to the northern regions of the planet, Stewart and his men were tasked with halting a Covenant advance on a UNSC base evacuating civilians from a local village. Stewart and his men were stationed at the Frozen Pass and formed an entire wall of men and debris. As the Covenant came, Stewart had warthogs gun down several members of infantry and some minor armaments. 
Stewart soon led a charge into the deeper into the pass and soon fell into a Covenant trap. While he and his men were pinned down, Stewart was able to set up a rally point and used Covenant charges to destroyed the Covenant around. However, due to his rashness and over ruling nature, he let the Covenant pass through the canyon and approached the base. Stewart and his men rushed back to the base and assisted the local forces defending it. Stewart would also recommend and use prototype AA guns to eliminate an overhanging Covenant destroyer along with a few inbound drop ships. 
==== Battle of Tigard ====
After the base was defended, Stewart and his men were taken to the city of Tigard and were given orders to defend the city. While Stewart had some of his men positioned in strategic locations, he personally led a squad of five into the city to eliminate Covenant AA guns and clear landing pads for evacuation. The team moved through the local cemetery and found themselves at the base of the city council building. While inside, the team was forced to hold their position from inbound Covenant forces. After a few minutes from holding the position, additional UNSC came into the area and allowed Stewart to continue with his mission. 
Moving through the city, the team eliminated small Covenant squads and took out the AAs and a few jammers in the under city as well. While on the way back to UNSC Command, the team intercepted a call from a nearby University. Stewart then decided to investigate and landed outside of the campus. The team cleared out the nearby courtyard and proceeded through the academy. While moving through the academy, the team cleared the local docks and were able to call in reinforcements. 
Afterwards, the team moved through the rest of the academy and entered the real estate district of the city and engaged a Covenant compound. While moving through the district they came across a worn down mansion and took refuge inside and began to pick off Covenant forces. Afterwards, the team was able to get the area fortified and secured and moved to a Covenant LZ outside the city. While the team moved through the skies, heavy Covenant armaments came raining down upon them and shot down their pelican. After the bird crashed, Stewart and his men were able to recover and took a position above the Covenant LZ. The squad took down the main defenses and called in an ODST squad to secure the area. Afterwards the team boarded the Covenant ship and destroyed the hanger via a nuclear bomb. 
Afterwards, the squad was extracted and brought to the UNSC Amber Cross and sent to 19th Street to support the UNSC front there. Once there, the team took down a Covenant turret pinning down army soldiers. After the turret was down, the team set fire to the Covenant below and pushed back them to the main city courtyard. Once there, the team along with several UNSC squads eliminated the Covenant in the area and moved on. The team moved through the city but were cut off by a Covenant convoy and pinned down the squad. With local air support, the team continued their assault but were stopped when several Covenant destroyers came and glassed the area. Stewart and his squad were then picked up and brought back to the Amber Cross. 
==== Mission to Taleb ====
In 2528, Stewart and a team of five were deployed to the city of Taleb to stop a Covenant convoy and supply chain to their deployment to the north. The team landed a few miles away from the supply line due to heavy Covenant anti-air in the area. The team moved through the vast jungles and came across the convoy moving towards the Covenant deployment. Stewart had his rockets attack the first Shadow at the front of the convoy and the rear wraith and trapped the convoy. Afterwards, the team destroyed the convoy with their remaining transports. Due to the heavy rocket fire, the cliffside pathway carrying the convoy was destroyed and eliminated the route. 
The team then moved through the cliff and into the city and engaged a small Covenant defense outside the city. Once the defense was eliminated, the team set up a UNSC checkpoint and was able to allow UNSC forces into the city to reenforce the local defenses. Stewart then led heavy artillery crews into the city and bombed incoming ground units and secure the south entrance for at least 32 klicks from the city. Afterwards, Stewart and the 2nd Tank Battalion moved to secure the East entrance point. Once there, Stewart and his tanks supported the struggling UNSC line. After a few minutes of battle, the UNSC secured the Eastern front and ultimately the city. 
==== Siege of West Front ====
Stationed in the city of West Front, Stewart and his battalion were sent inside the city to assist in the mandatory evacuation of the city. After a few hours of moving civilians, the city came under siege by two Covenant cruisers with Stewart and his battalion being the first to engage them. Stewart and his team of ten were able to hold off the minor ground assault of the Covenant before bring overwhelmed by banshees and spirits raining fire upon them. While the team fell back, ODST squads were deployed and supported their post while Stewart and his men moved to support the rear. 
Stewart was soon overwhelmed by the Covenant forces and was forced into a retreat and thus lost the southern gate. Once he regrouped with the main UNSC force, Stewart and his battalion were assigned to be apart of a massive assault on a Covenant staging area to the east of the city. Stewart was then promoted to the rank of  and given complete control over the UNSC forces. The battalion was deployed in several mammoths and sent into the valley ahead. Stewart and his Mammoth, Mammoth-A1 were engaged by a large Covenant platoon and heavy armaments. Luckily, they were able to push back the Covenant stationed there with help from supporting scorpions and warthogs along the ground. 
 Afterwards, the battalion found two Covenant spires along the outskirts of the valley. Stewart then led three warthog squads into Spire-1, while LT. Daniel Phillips led a scorpion charge into Spire-2. Stewart and his squads were able to destroy the spire's shield and thus the spire once UNSC air support came and bombed the area. However, Phillips' tanks were pinned down and outnumbered and so, Stewart led his mammoth into the spire and cleared a path for the lieutenant. Once the spire was down, the battalion fortified and secured the area and retuned to city. 
Once back at the city, the battalion went to work and cleared the outskirts with the remaining armaments from the assault on the spires. Afterwards, Stewart and three squads continued with their original objective of evacuating the city of civilians. However, instead of taking them to the local starport, Stewart outfitted two of his mammoths for civilian transport and took the civilians away from the city and to a neighboring one. After their sector was cleared, Stewart proceeded into the city and cleared out sectors 2,17, 3, and 12 within a hour's worth of time. Stewart then proceeded to regain access to the main UNSC headquarters and the ONI HQ of the city. Once they were recaptured, navy ships cleared out the local Covenant forces and drove them away from the city. 
==== Battle of Glacier Creek ====
After the siege was a success, Stewart and Phillips led squads to the town of Glacier Creek to recapture it from a small Covenant platoon there. When the team arrived to the town, their LZ was hot, but they were able to land and engage the Covenant forces. While pushing back against the Covenant, the teams were able to spread into the woods near the north and found a Covenant ship, docked with a UNSC compound. Stewart quickly had the ship destroyed, but as a result, destroyed the town as well. 
=== Deployment to Vixel ===
After the failure that was the Battle of Glacier Creek, Stewart and his battalion were sent to the colony world of Vixel to assist local defenses in case of Covenant assault. While on the planet, Stewart was able to reconnect with his family and formed a friendship with John Scrapper, Stanford Doland, and Patrick Irons.

Sometime in his military career, Stewart was able to achieve the rank of and led several army units during the war. 
=== Fall of Reach ===
Arriving on Reach on August 20th, Stewart and his army arrived at New Alexandria to support the local defenses in the area. While the Covenant attacked, Stewart had begun to run civilian evac ops and deployed several squads around the city's permitter to keep the Covenant inside. Stewart also placed several air squadrons around the interior of the city and above the corvettes above the city. Though the air squads were able to hold off the Covenant, Stewart still did not stand the site of the falling city and thus, pulled rank and led a squad down into the city to clear out the Covenant. 
Though the squad was unconventional, they still performed adorability and were able to clear out several areas of Covenant and found dozens of civilians. Stewart and his men led the civilians through the city and invaded a hundred-ten story tower and cleared the first few floors and were joined by ODSTs in the tower. Afterwards. the group made it to the seventy-fifth floor and used the landing pad there to call in an evac. Once the pelican came, the civilians and ODSTs left while Stewart and two members of his squad continued through the building. Once at another landing pad, the team took down a squad operating a Shade Turret and proceeded further up. Once at the top floor the team set up a rally point for UNSC squads and got a pelican out of the city and returned to UNSC ground. While on the ground, Stewart and his men were engaged by Covenant suicide squads and a squad caught him off guard. Though he had survived the blast, Stewart's left leg and right torso were severely damaged. He was then taken to his main base of operations and given a cybernetic leg and part of a torso. 
Afterwards, Stewart had begun to run the civilian operations to leave the city and get everyone out fast. Stewart then sent to secure the East Defense Complex with other forces. Stewart then had some naval units assist him along with . Stewart then was able to have the remaining civilian evac shuttles leave the area and effectively the planet. Stewart was then able to met with Doland and the two coordinate a defense of the planet. Stewart then let have full authority over ground units while Doland led the navy forces. However, due to overwhelming odds, Stewart and Doland ordered a full retreat and abandoned the planet. 
=== Battle of Earth ===
After arriving on , Stewart and Doland met with their friend, Patrick Irons, and together the three questioned the UNSC and UEG. Though Stewart wasn't onboard initially, he couldn't due to the invasion of the planet. Stewart had deployed troops all across the planet's surface and personally led a squad down to following the planetary assault. When on the ground, Stewart defended the entrance to the ONI Alpha Site until ODSTs came further secured the area. 
Afterwards, the team and Stewart continued to move through the city and acted with a swift fist and cleared out sector after sector. Stewart then had his troops clear local buildings to find lost civilians while he and three others would hold off the Covenant air support. After finding a few lost children, Stewart and a small squad escorted them while he had one of his colonel's led the remaining men to the northern part of the city. Stewart and his group were able to find a UNSC transport and get to a safe point of the city. After the first day of the invasion, Stewart deployed troops to reinforce the west front and to fortify the southern most point of the city to save the . Stewart was also the general that supported and approved, Sgt. Greyson and Dr. Todd's mission to Norfolk Research Station. 
Stewart then deployed a squad led by himself to the city of Voi for a recon mission. While on the mission, Stewart's squad was ambushed by brute forces. While the team was ambushed, Stewart was injured and lost his lower right arm to a gravity hammer. While his team fended of the rest of the Covenant, a medical ship was able to bring Stewart to safety and gave him a new arm. 
During the final engagements, Stewart had fortified a majority of the continent of Africa and secured a large portion of the town of Voi. When the UNSC had pushed the Covenant back to their breaking point, Stewart had led squads down and around the town to secured their positions. Stewart was also able to witness the final strike against the Covenant empire. 
== Coalition of the New Earth Government ==
After the end of the war, Stewart was offered again to join the Coalition, and denied the offer again as well. However, after the celebration at Voi, Stewart was threatened with court-martial due to his disobedience of orders and his backlash from people who claimed he used his name to achieve his rank and positions. Stewart the agreed to join the Coalition and was given the rank and title of Supreme General of the military. After a few months in the coalition, Stewart went back to Vixel with a small army to use the political turmoil of the planet to break away. 
=== Vixel Rebellion ===
After five years on the planet, Stewart began to use the civil unrest and rallied a grand army of Vixel to rebel against the UEG and the UNSC. Stewart then led an attack against a small comm building and captured it. Some of Stewart's men then reported that an incoming UNSC strike team to recapture the facility. Stewart then had several guns placed and other defenses readied and fired at the inbound UNSC forces and killed them all. Stewart then retreated from the area and allowed his men to continue their mission. 
Stewart then led a charge in the Behera Territory with General John Scrapper at his side. The charge was deemed a success, but the rebellion also lost several units and assets. However, due to the loss of the assets, the UNSC began to easily retake the area. With no other options given to him, Stewart launched a havoc nuke in the area and killed hundreds of UNSC soldiers, including Edward-B234. Due to the overwhelming loss for the UNSC the rebellion quickly recaptured the area. 
Stewart the approved an attack run on the city of New San Andreas, but he soon realized that the Colonel running the attack, turned it into a full scale invasion. At the start of the new year however, Stewart learned that the invasion was a failure and so, punished the colonel via execution. 
Stewart later led the Siege of New Century and led all remaining rebel forces to the capital of Vixel. While moving to the capital, Stewart got word of his friend, John Scrapper, death by a few spartan teams. Two days prior to the siege, Stewart learned that General Matthew Cross was arrested by other spartans of the UNSC. The general continued to led the assault and like his other generals and admirals, learned that Doland was arrested at the Appatos Mountains. Stewart still held his charge but after nearly 5 months of the attack, he was forced to pull out due to overwhelming UNSC forces along with remaining Vixel Warriors. 
Once out of the city, Stewart retreated to the country of Azod, the last true bastion for the rebellion. Stewart had almost the entire area fortified but it was not enough for the UNSC assault. Stewart held off the UNSC for a few more days until his personal base was placed under attack. Stewart was soon engaged by Stewart-A210 and other spartans. Stewart was able to kill the spartan, but was beat to a pulp by Roderick-A207 and was arrested. 
=== Attempted Escape ===
After his arrest in 2567, Stewart was brought to Earth for his trail against the UNSC and UEG. While he was in prison in 2569, some of Stewart's followers attacked the prison he was in and attempted to free him. Stewart was given a standard assault rifle and led an escape out of the massive facility. However, he went to the lower levels to free his friend, Stanford Doland. When he found Doland, Stewart carried for much of the way out until Stanford was shot and killed by a prison guard. The group then killed the guard and decided to use the mote surrounding the prison for an escape route. 
After Doland's death, the team made it outside of the prison yards and ran to a nearby jungle. However, before they could make it, they were cut off by marines and air force units blocking their escape. However, Stewart and his men did not go without a fight and engaged the marines.
