[[File:Cortez squad.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Dutch with O'Brien and Checkman during a briefing.]]
Some time between 2540 and 2551, Miles was stationed on [[Unidentified destroyer (The Babysitter)|destroyer ''DD-933'']] as a part of a squad led by [[Master Sergeant]] [[Cortez]], along with a contingent of ODSTs from the [[105th Shock Troops Division]].<ref>'''Halo Legends:''' ''The Babysitter''</ref><ref> As Miles enlisted in 2540, the mission on Heian had to have occurred during or after 2540.

When Cal attempted to shoot the Prophet, a [[Jiralhanae]] [[Unidentified Jiralhanae chieftain (Heian)|chieftain]] that Cal had fought earlier to save O'Brien assaulted the squad and fatally wounded Cal, who rushed to their defense. Miles responded as he, Cortez, and O'Brien tackled the chieftain just as it was about to strike Cal once more. Miles then shot the Brute in the face, killing him. Although they succeeded in assassinating the Prophet, the death of Cal and another squadmate, [[Checkman]], hit Miles and his comrades very hard. Afterward, it became evident that Cal's voluntary sacrifice had affected the squad's impression of Spartans, as they scolded an [[UNSC Army|Army]] [[specialist]], [[Berger]], who made light of the fact that the Spartan had passed away on the mission.

During [[Operation: FIRESIDE]] in [[2552#January|January 2552]], Miles served in the same unit with [[Kojo Agu|Kojo "Romeo" Agu]] under the command of [[Master Sergeant|MSgt]] [[Frost]]. Before deployment, they were stationed aboard a [[UNSC frigate]]. Miles broke up a fight Romeo had started, and because of this, Sgt. Frost confined both of them to their quarters. While in his quarters, Miles viewed a video message from Gretchen, who was still healing from her injury.

After this, the ODSTs were deployed to the UNSC colony world of [[Ariel]], where all the colonists seemed to have mysteriously disappeared.{{Ref/Reuse|helljumper}} After the ODSTs split into two man teams, Miles and Romeo entered a structure, where they encountered a heavy [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] presence. After a brief engagement with two [[Sangheili]], the colony's generators went critical, forcing Miles and Romeo to grab the corpses and use them as personal shields against the blast. Miles then decided to tell Romeo his "last words": he was going to get a transfer.

When they were blown to the surface and woke up, Romeo punched Miles for telling of his transfer. They then found an injured [[Unggoy]], who they interrogated, demanding to know what the Covenant were doing. The Unggoy could only say "knowing" but couldn't tell anymore. They let the Grunt go free, only for Romeo to shoot it, fearing that he may become a liability. They soon traced their squad's tracks, but noticed a [[legion]] of Sangheili headed towards them. As Romeo tried coming up with a plan, three Unggoy tried dropping a boulder on them. They barely managed to avoid the attack and then killed the Unggoy, and took their gear before setting up a few explosives to bring rocks upon the Sangheili.

After using improvised explosives to bring a canyon's walls down on a large number of Covenant and then evading the survivors, they formulated a plan to steal a Covenant [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantom]]. First, they killed a Sangheili and an Unggoy, using the latter's body to fool the other Unggoy into thinking that Miles was being taken captive, before killing them all. They then took control of the Phantom, though what Miles believed to be lift-off thrusters were actually weapons, which killed a number of Covenant returning to the ship. As they took off, one Sangheili managed to damage the Phantom with his [[Pez'tk-pattern fuel rod gun|fuel rod gun]], causing the Phantom to crash to the ground. They abandon ship, as the Phantom crashed into a company of Sangheili. Miles crashed through a building's skylight, and found the missing colonists inside, held prisoner by several Unggoy.

[[File:DutchRomeo evade.png|thumb|Miles and Romeo make their way over the laser traps in the Forerunner complex.]]
After neutralizing the guards, Miles and Romeo then learned from the colonists that the Covenant were forcing them to dig down below, setting off a number of booby traps in the entrance to [[Ariel Forerunner complex|an alien complex]]. Thus the two ODSTs went down below to free the other [[Slavery|enslaved]] colonists. They first scared two Unggoy with inactive bombs, causing them run right into a laser trap, before Miles tackled the Sangheili into them as well. He and Romeo then made their way past the lasers, before finding what the Covenant was looking for on Ariel: an [[Forerunner|alien]] [[ancilla|construct]] called [[the Knowing]]. Though Miles believed that the AI would be beneficial to the UNSC, per ONI [[Xeno orders|standing orders]], Romeo preferred that they destroy it to prevent the Covenant from getting their hands on the data. Romeo asked the Knowing to activate its [[self-destruct]] and direct them out of the complex which it complied with due to his status as a [[Reclaimer]]. As they made their way out, Romeo tripped over an Unggoy's body and broke his ankle. Miles carried him and managed to escape the blast. When they got back to the surface, they were reunited with their squad, who had seen the Covenant fleeing the planet because of the Knowing's destruction.

Later, Miles visited Romeo in the infirmary. Romeo stated that he filed for a transfer to be with Miles, who revealed that he had withdrawn his transfer request. They both played Rock, Paper, Scissors to decide who would go.

Before the ODSTs hit the ground, the assault carrier initiated [[Slipspace]] transition over the city, generating a massive [[Electromagnetic Pulse|EMP]] wave, disabling the pods' electronic systems. The squad's pods were scattered around the city, with no clear idea of their mission or their squadmates' whereabouts. Miles' pod landed on the outskirts of the [[Uplift Nature Reserve]]. 30 minutes after the drop, he moved out and made his way up to a clearing where a battle was taking place, between Covenant infantry and armor, against a platoon of Marines with three [[Warthog]]s, one of them turned over, and under fire from Covenant infantry. With his help, they secured the Warthog and defeated the Covenant forces in the area and started a Warthog charge against the enemy. After the area was cleared, Miles and the other Marines made contact with the [[Unnamed UNSC Colonel|Colonel]] in charge, who ordered them to [[Second Platoon (Halo 3: ODST)|Second Platoon]]'s location, which were taking heavy fire and needed assistance.

Miles and his allies made his way to the second platoon's location, fighting through more Covenant armor. On the way to second platoon's location he learned that the mission objectives were to seize Regret's Carrier's LZ, and secure a [[Vergil|Tier One asset]]. When he finally arrived at second platoon's location they were under heavy fire from additional Covenant armor. Once the Covenant were defeated, the moved across a bridge to find the Colonel near the Covenant LZ, only to watch as the [[Mombasa Tether|space elevator]] collapsed. The Colonel, mortally wounded, ordered the rest of the Marines to move out before more debris came down. Miles and the Marines on the bridge decided to make their way up the hill and out of the park. On their way up they faced off against much more heavy Covenant resistance. Eventually they made it to the Assault Carrier's old LZ where a group of Marines were pinned down by more Covenant armor. After making it to the top of the hill and defeating the last of the Covenant armor, and a Jiralhanae war chieftain, Miles found a hole in the wall made by debris, driving his vehicle off the edge and back into the city.

Later that day, he defended an entrance to the Marine rally point with a pair of Gauss turrets, fighting off Covenant armor. He ordered one of the Marines to hold his fire, and than focus his fire on the Wraith that just arrived, but was angered when the Marine panicked, and opened fire randomly on Covenant troops.

After defeating waves of Covenant troops, he asked if Mickey had made contact with the rest of the squad, which Mickey was unable to. Mickey had suggested to stay at the rally point and wait for back up, at this point an [[NMPD]] officer showed up and asked them for assistance in the defense of the [[ONI Alpha Site]], to which Miles overruled Mickey and ordered him to go and assist the situation.

Later, Miles and Mickey defended the ONI Alpha Site. Miles personally armed three of the charges to destroy the only bridge to the Alpha Site. After the [[Superintendent]] finally gave them access, Miles detonated the charges and temporarily halted the Covenant advance. Mickey than noticed the Covenant were landing beyond the wall, and they moved to defend the building from more Covenant troops, after defending the courtyard for a while, they were overwhelmed and forced to retreat inside. Here they found a group of police officers planting charges to destroy the building, which Miles questioned as of why they were doing so. The officer in charge said he had orders to prevent the Covenant from accessing ONI's and the Superintendent's data, which meant blowing up the building if necessary. Eventually they were overwhelmed again and forced to retreat up an elevator, where they were attacked by [[Yanme'e]], and had to fight them off as well. Finally they made it up to the roof, after fighting off another group of Covenant they evacuated on NMPD Police Pelican, and finally made contact with Buck who was with Romeo at the [[NMPD Headquarters]], Miles and Mickey decided to go and pick them up. Once at a safe distance Mickey detonated the charges destroying the building.

Later, the [[D77C-NMPD Pelican Dropship|Pelican dropship]], prepared to pick up Romeo and Buck from a landing pad on the NMPD Headquarters building. However, two [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] appeared and shot the Pelican down, leaving Miles and Mickey to crash land onto an adjacent building. Miles, Mickey and another NMPD officer survived the crash and defended the area, waiting for Buck and Romeo to arrive. After the other two arrived at the crash site, they defended the site from multiple waves of Covenant infantry and Banshees. Eventually, [[Jiralhanae]] [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain]] [[Bracktanus]] was dropped into the middle of the squad, attacking Romeo. Miles helped Mickey and Buck take down the Chieftain with a well placed melee before it could finish off Romeo, who was badly injured.{{Ref/Level|H3ODST|NMPD HQ}}

They made their way to [[Kikowani Station (location)|Kikowani Station]] intending to take the train out of the city, only to find the tunnels flooded. Buck decided to steal a Phantom; he had Miles wait with Romeo as he and Mickey attempted to secure it. Once Mickey took control, he picked up Miles and Romeo, with Miles manning one of the Phantom's plasma turrets. During their fight through the station, they encountered a Scarab, which they managed to destroy. The squad finally makes it out of the station, but Buck realizes where [[Captain (Navy)|Capt.]] Dare might be. He had the squad go back into the city, where Miles, along with Mickey and Romeo waited with the Phantom at a safe location, to pick up Buck at a later time.{{Ref/Level|Id=kikowani|H3ODST|Kikowani Station}}

Buck eventually managed to find Dare, the Rookie, and a [[Huragok]], and radioed the rest of the squad for evac. When Miles and the squad arrived at Buck's location, it was under fire from two {{Pattern|Zurdo|Wraith}}s on the highway, which Miles, Mickey and Romeo took out with the Phantom. Miles along with the rest of the squad finally evacuated the city as the Covenant fleet began to glass it.{{Ref/Level|H3ODST|Coastal Highway}}
When Miles and the squad arrived at Buck's location later that day, it was under fire from two [[Wraith]]s on the highway, which Miles, Mickey and Romeo took out with the Phantom. Miles along with the rest of the squad finally evacuated the city as the Covenant fleet began to glass it. Miles was last seen a month later on an [[ONI orbital facility]], with the rest of the squad guarding the [[Huragok]] holding the data of the [[Vergil]] subroutine of the Superintendent. He then watched as [[Avery Junior Johnson|Sgt. Johnson]] interrogated the Huragok, about what the Covenant had uncovered in New Mombasa.<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level, ''[[Coastal Highway]]''</ref>
 
===Respite and redeployment===
[[File:RookieAsleep.png|thumb|200px|left|Dutch with the squad in the Quito Terminus.]]
Miles and his squad guarded the Huragok, now known as Vergil, in the [[ONI]]-appropriated Crimson Wing of the [[Quito Space Tether]]'s terminus for the following weeks. Approximately one month after the battle, they watched as [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson]] interrogated the Engineer. Shortly after this, Alpha-Nine was redeployed in the field and fought in the concluding battles of the war.{{Ref/Novel|HNB|Page=81}} One of these operations, known as [[Operation: JOINT MONITOR]], consisted of biohazard containment in the [[Voi]] Exclusion Zone, at some point following the [[Battle of Voi]].{{Ref/Game|Id=H5GLtd|Halo 5: Guardians|[[Halo 5: Guardians Limited Edition|Limited Edition]]|Detail=Spartan Locke's Classified Orders}}
 
===Post-war===
After the Covenant War, Miles and his squad took part in several engagements against [[Insurrectionist]] forces. In [[2554]], his squad participated in a UNSC assault against the [[United Rebel Front]] on [[Draco III]], where the rebels had fortified themselves in the planet's capitol building in [[New Albany]]. During the mission, the Rookie was taken hostage and ultimately killed by the rebels' leader, [[Ingridson|Captain Ingridson]], before they were defeated; Miles killed Ingridson with his shotgun instantly after she executed the Rookie.{{Ref/Novel|HNB|Page=94}} The loss of his comrade profoundly affected Miles and, during the Rookie's funeral the following week, he announced his decision to retire from military service to be with Gretchen and possibly return to his former career as a road train driver.{{Ref/Novel|HNB|Page=99}} The two continued to contact their old squadmates and friends after their retirement.{{Ref/Novel|HNB|Page=149}} Dutch later admitted that civilian life wasn't really working out for the couple and struggling to adapt to it put a strain on their marriage and nearly led to a divorce.{{Ref/Reuse|BadB}}
 
===Spartan-IV and rejoining Alpha-Nine===
During the onset of the [[Created conflict]], Buck, Dare, [[Quick to Adjust|Vergil]], [[Sadie Endesha]] and Romeo visited the [[Spartan-IV training station]] to break out Mickey for a secret ONI mission. However, the station's AI, [[Leonidas]], was secretly loyal to the [[Created]] and declared Buck a rogue Spartan before Buck shut him down. As Buck struggled to escape the attacking Spartans with Mickey, he was unexpectedly contacted by Dutch who, along with Gretchen, came to Buck and Mickey's aid. The two revealed that Gretchen had received a new prosthetic, allowing them to join the [[SPARTAN-IV program]] and had been in training when Buck arrived. With Dutch and Gretchen's help, the two managed to escape and Dutch and Gretchen chose to join the reformed [[Alpha-Nine]] on their mission.{{Ref/Reuse|BadB}}
