| ===Battle of Sigma Octanus IV===
| |
| Harland and three members of his [[corporal Harland's fireteam|squad]], [[Private]]s [[Fincher]], [[Cochran]], and [[Walker]] encountered Covenant [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]] and retreated to [[Alpha Headquarters]] after realizing that [[Firebase Bravo]] and the surrounding area had been destroyed by the Covenant. While retreating, they were involved in a skirmish against some [[Unggoy|Grunts]]. They killed the Grunts, but Cochran was severely wounded by [[Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher|Needler]] rounds.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 164-176'' (''"Harland checked on Cochran. Private Cochran's eyes fluttered open, cracking the mud caked onto his face. "We back yet, Corporal?" "Almost," Harland replied. Cochran's pulse was steady, although his face had, in the last several minutes, drained of color. The wounded man looked like a corpse. ''Damn it,'' Harland thought, ''he's going to bleed out.Harland placed a reassuring hand on Cochran's shoulder. "Hang in there. We'll patch you up as soon as we get to camp."They had dropships at Bravo. Cochran had a chance, albeit a slim one, if they got him back to the combat surgeons at headquarters--or better yet, to the Navy docs on the orbiting ships. For a moment Harland was dazzled with visions of clean sheets, hot meals--and a meter of armor between him and the Covenant."'''')</ref>

| They narrowly won a retreating fight against two [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]], where Harland attempted to destroy the Covenant fighters with the chain gun on the Warthog. He was unable to do so and the squad was saved by Cochran, who managed to shoot down both Banshees despite his injuries. After returning to the primary headquarters near the coastal city [[Côte d'Azur|Cote d'Azur]], only to find that it was also destroyed with almost no survivors, Harland called for reinforcements, not expecting the [[SPARTAN Program|SPARTANs]].
