Hours before the alien attack on earth, Harris can be seen, along with his fellow marines, watching a news coverage of the event on TV. He was very shocked when he found out that the attackers were extraterrestrial. He and the rest of his squad then proceeded to board a chopper to Los Angeles, picking up 2nd Lieutenant William Martinez in the process. He and his squad then began their mission. They were ambushed by aliens shortly thereafter; Harris and his squad fought back but were eventually forced to retreat when Guerreou got injured. Harris, along with Martinez, Staff Sergeant Michael Nantz, Nick Stavrou, Corey Simmons, Peter Kerns, Richard Guerreou, Scott Grayston, Lee Imlay, Shaun Lenihan, Jason Lockett and Jibril Adukwu found shelter in a nearby building.
With Guerreou and Grayston wounded and Shaun Lenihan missing, Harris, along with Nantz and Imlay, went to go and look for Lenihan. They found him in someone’s backyard, fending off an alien. The alien emerged from the swimming pool and attacked, but Nantz, Harris, Imlay and Lenihan opened fire and the alien fell back into the pool. Imlay finished it off with a grenade. They proceeded to regroup with the rest of their squad and continued on to the Police Station.
A second alien ambush left Simmons wounded, prompting the squad to take shelter in a nearby building. Marines from the 40th Infantry Division came along with Staff Sergeant Richard Oswald and the Technical Sergeant Elena Santos came. Later on, they found the Police Station. Harris was forced to wait outside for them and to take care of the wounded until the Helicopter came.
When it came, they managed to put aboard Guerreou, Grayston, Simmons and Lenihan who said to take care of himself to Imlay, then a Alien ship distoryed the helicopter and killed everyone aboard, Harris was upset of this, He was also seen later on with Stavrou when he complaned about the death of Guerreou and Grayston and Lenihan, but he didn`t say about Simmons which he never mentioned.
