He is in ten years later (which iirc, the movie is closer to in plot.)
In the books, he goes to the musketeers and presents his father’s letter of introduction, but gets turned away since he needed to serve a period of time in another unit. By the end of musketeers, he joins the Cardinal’s and goes to war with the three.
Edit: to clarify, the war is against England, not the cardinal. the Duke of Buckingham invades and france’s armies are called up- including both the Cardinal’s church soldiers and the king’s musketeers. There’s a lovely little scene where they’re at a siege, the defenders are lobbing cannon at them, and the french infantry are mostly hanging back waiting for something to change. D’Artangan takes a dare or bet to go eat lunch within range of the castle’s cannon and the three go join him, hurling insults at the english.

Does he eat a baguette and then smoke a cigarette?
