In [[2552]], he evaluated the members of NOBLE Team and apparently served as [[Special Warfare Group Three]] [[commanding officer]] and had operational control of the SPARTAN unit;<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?cid=24530 '''Bungie.net:''' ''NOBLE Team Performance Reports'']</ref> it was his belief that NOBLE Team should be comprised of commissioned officers to give them the authority to alter operation parameters mid-mission.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_012910 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 01.29.10'' (''"As NOBLE tends to operate much more closely with non-augmented personnel than Blue, Red, et al ever did, NOBLE's CO decided that his team shouldn't have to worry about some Oscar Sierra light-switch they might run into in the field trying to start calling the shots or otherwise alter OP parameters mid-mission."'']</ref>

He was stationed on [[Reach]] during [[Fall of Reach|its fall]] and ordered NOBLE Team to investigate the comm blackout at the [[Visegrád Relay]].<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Noble Actual]]''</ref> Noble One, would soon report to him that the Visegrád Relay was taken out by a Covenant advance team.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Winter Contingency (level)|Winter Contingency]]''</ref> He would soon order them to defend [[SWORD Base]] from Covenant attack,<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[ONI: Sword Base]]''</ref> and later take out scattered Covenant [[Type-38 Anti-Aircraft Cannon|anti-air turrets]] to clear the way for the {{UNSCShip|Grafton}}'s attack on a [[Covenant spire]] designated [[Spire One]].<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Tip of the Spear]]''</ref>

After the ''Grafton'' was destroyed by a [[Long Night of Solace|Covenant supercarrier]], he approved the plan for Noble Six to pilot a [[YSS-1000 Sabre]] along with [[Jorge-052]] to assist in [[Operation: UPPER CUT]] and destroy the supercarrier. During the space battle he had the {{UNSCShip|Savannah}} assist Noble Five and Noble Six by keeping the [[Ardent Prayer|corvette]] they were attempting to [[Boarding|board]] busy. After Jorge and Six boarded the corvette he ordered the ''Savannah'' away, when it reported it was under heavy fire, however it was too late and the frigate was destroyed. <ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace]]''</ref>

Later, Holland contacted NOBLE Team, now in [[New Alexandria]], on an [[COM|open channel]]. He ordered them to destroy [[Sword Base]] which was, by then, under Covenant control.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[New Alexandria (level)|New Alexandria]]''</ref> He received an update on their situation from [[Carter-A259]] as they approached Sword Base in [[Eposz]]. After they arrived, however, NOBLE Team came under the command of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] and their mission parameters were shifted; [[Catherine Halsey]] said Colonel Holland would be briefed on these changes. <ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[The Package (level)|The Package]]''</ref>

*Holland was voiced by [[Pat Duke]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''' ''[[Halo: Reach Credits|credits]]''</ref>
