From what I can gather, his character apparently was to be a military man of some sort. His scene was scheduled to be filmed May 5, the same date as the two uncredited air traffic controllers (one of whom clearly was James O'Hara, who oftentimes played a GCPD cop on the show).
The Dozier memo indicated that director Leslie Martinson had expressed misgivings about the character. In any event, the character didn't appear in the movie, nor was Major Terry in the final shooting script by Semple, dated April 6, 1966.
Author Joel Eisner has some explanation of Holloway's role in this blog post:

Other tidbits, some of which some of you already may know:
- 1. The dehydrated henchmen originally were supposed to be 'shrunken.' It appears it was deemed too expensive to film it that way.
2. Schmidlapp originally was to be called 'Commander Redhead,' a takeoff on the 'Commander Whitehead' mascot of Schweppes beverages. (Schweppes was to be called Schleppes, sounds like a Stanley Ralph Ross Borsch belt pun via Semple). But Schweppes angrily threatened legal action when Dozier asked for permission and thus put the kibosh on it.
3. Burgess Meredith was trying to get Dough-zier to help produce a film project of his. Dozier didn't bite.
4. Despite all her screen time, Lee Meriwether was paid the least of the four villains, $5,500. Julie Newmar had signed on for $10K on April 1 before bowing out because of a back injury.
5. Henchman 'Quetch,' played by George Sawaya, originally was supposed to be one of the five dehydrated henchmen. Perhaps it was decided his stuntman skills would be needed for the climactic fight. The final draft script says Quetch and 'four sailors' were to be dehydrated. They were not referred to as guinea pigs at that point.
6. Penguin's line about the guinea pigs all having a mother is not in the final draft script, supporting Lee's quote that Meredith ad-libbed it.
