When the Covenant attack Reach, all the Spartans, Sargent Johnson and a lot of Marines are on board The Pillar of Autumn getting ready to jump to another system for a specific mission. When word reaches them that Reach is under attack, they scrap the mission and head back to help defend. John (Master Chief), James, and Linda go on a space-op to secure navigational data that could lead the Covenant to Earth. The rest of the Spartans go groundside to fight. When it's clear that Reach has fallen, Master Chief returns to The Pillar of Autumn with Linda (James was jettisoned into space and non-retrievable) and they jump to unknown coordinates which ends up being where Halo is. During all of this, Johnson remains on the ship and doesn't do any fighting.
TL:DR: No because he was on-board The Pillar of Autumn during Reach.
they were sent on a mission following the orders of the cole protocol which states that in the event of possibly being overrun by enemies, erase any data that could lead back to earth. the pillar of autumn didnt delete their data most likely because of jacob keyes being the captain and cortana being the on board a.i. they would have done something more like blind jumping to lead the covanent off before destroying there nav charts
