Detailed walkthrough
On entry to Camp Guardian you will receive a radio broadcast. Listen to it to receive word of Halford's problems. There will be 3-4 radscorpions on the mountain path and several giant rats near the camp itself. After finding Halford's tent there should be a journal piece nearby telling the Courier of the cave behind their tent. On entrance there is a crate with several C-4 plastic explosive and a 9mm pistol. No lakelurks should be found on the way to Halford.

Upon finding him you will notice a blood pile near his leg. Having a doctor's bag  or medicine skill of 50 will allow you to heal his leg. You will probably not have to fight your way out if you backtrack your path. Upon exiting he will give you his rifle in full condition and a note with schematics for the dog tag fist. He will tell you to take the note to his superiors.
