UNIT-US, (PROSE: Bullet Time) later called UNIT North America, (AUDIO: The Dalek Transaction) was the branch of UNIT in the United States of America. It underwent major changes in 2005 to centralise its activities, (PROSE: UNIT's New York Operation Expansion) having previously been spread across multiple divisions such as UNIT ONE and UNIT THREE. (PROSE: The Dying Days)

History

Major Russell Barry met members of UNIT-US whilst serving in the Vietnam War. Their experiences with traps came to mind when he observed a tribal vllage, though he had to remind himself that he wasn't in Viatnam, and that the war had been over for decades. (PROSE: Bullet Time)

After the attacks from guerrillas and Sir Reginald Styles voyage to China to attempt to convince them to return to the World Peace Conference, the international situation worsened to the point that troops amassed along the Russian-Chinese front and that fighting had already started in South America and southern Asia, prompting UNIT to send an urgent message to all "UNIT National HQs". (PROSE: The Secret Lives of Monsters)

UNIT ONE (Creative Intelligence) and UNIT THREE were divisions of this American branch. During the Martian Invasion of 1997, UNIT ONE co-ordinated groups, while UNIT THREE was a liaison with NASA and the White House. (PROSE: The Dying Days)

By 2005, after the death of Major C Jones and her colleagues, Major A Highway, a former friend of Jones, took Jones' old job at the UNIT New York Liaison Office, and Major Highway promised that he would reorganise UNIT's pan-territorial activities into a "pivotal single base operation", a change necessatated by the rise in "threats to national security", (PROSE: UNIT's New York Operation Expansion) such as Operation Mannequin. (PROSE: Operation Mannequin) The ambitions of Major Highway, and his sdanes over the death of his friend, was documented in the press briefing filed by Staff Sergeant A. Frederick, embargoed until 31 March 2005. (PROSE: UNIT's New York Operation Expansion)

By the late 2000s, Lieutenant-General Sanchez was the head of the New York base, which carried out projects like Project Indigo with Martha Jones as Medical Director. The base was later heavily damaged by the Daleks. (TV: The Stolen Earth)

In the 2010s, Petronella Osgood acknowledged a Dr Jones working at UNIT North America. (AUDIO: The Dalek Transaction)

The Tenth Doctor and Cleopatra Hunsicker hide from UNIT troops in Manhattan. (COMIC: The Fountains of Forever)

Upon returning to Manhattan with Gabby Gonzalez, sometime in the mid-2010s, was lead to the Ebonite Auction Rooms in the Rockefeller Center by a signal emanating from an Osiran quantum harvester, but unbeknownst to him, he was followed by Cleopatra Hunsicker. In the auction rooms, the Doctor found that the harvester had already been bought, and that everything else for sale either wasn't alien in origin or was either grossly misunderstood; he left, passing a trio of individuals who appeared to be wearing UNIT uniforms, and outside he sent a message to UNIT HQ in New York requesting they clean up any suspicious items.

After a misunderstanding with Hunsicker, she instructed the Doctor to hide from a squad of armed UNIT soldiers in the immediate vicinity. (COMIC: The Fountains of Forever)

After foiling the Shoal of the Winter Harmony's plot to take over Earth using the corporation Harmony Shoal as a front, the Twelfth Doctor tipped UNIT off to their existence.
