Phynn Garland was a UNSC Marine who fought in the Battle of Harvest.

Service on Harvest
After being promoted to Private First Class in boot camp, Garland's company was moved onto Harvest as just another replacement company.

Going into Harvest, the Pelicans that he and his company were transported on received moderate anti-air fire. One of the Pelicans was destroyed, but not the one Garland was in.

About a week after being put on Harvest, half of his platoon was stationed in the armory on Hill-H861. A few days after being stationed there, they were attacked. The armory was infiltrated by Covenant attackers, and the rest of the men stationed on the hill were killed. Garland took a sniper rifle and killed all the infiltrators. With his hundreds of clips available, he kept the Covenant attackers from advancing.

When Major Enning's reinforcing companies came up the side of the hill a few days later, Garland was evacuated from the scene and taken to a nearby aid station.

After his heroism at the Battle of Hill-H861, he was given the Silver Star, as well as a promotion to Sergeant, since he was going to end up being the leader of the replacing section of his platoon.

He was later killed-in-action in a skirmish during the last months of the battle in 2531 as a Gunnery Sergeant.
