After he graduated high school, Holt signed up for the marines and joined the ODSTs. Holt quickly gained respect from his fellow soliders by throwing himself on a grenade, saving a room full of civillians. Holt later spent two years in intensive care.

Not long after being released back into active service, Holt and his squad were caught in a fire fight with insurectionists. Holt lost eight of his men before the insurgents were forced to retreat. Holt would take the loss of his comrades hard but would force himself to continue.

Years later, during the finally months of the Human Covenant War, Holt and his squad were dispatched to defend a military outpost on Reach as technicians earased all of the outposts data. Holt and his men would be reinforced by a five man Spartan III team.

Holt and his men fought wave after wave of covenant. Holt himself would fight Covenant Elites in hand to hand combat, a feat only a few were able to do. One by one, Holt's men fell due to friendly fire. It wasn't long before only Holt and the squads rookie O'brien remained. As Pelicans arrived, Holt engaged an Elite general in combat. The Elite managed to gain the upper hand on Holt and beat him senseless. As Holt slowly died on the battle field, the Elite spat on Holt's helmet.
