History
After Operation Mannequin (PROSE: Operation Mannequin) and the death of Major C Jones and her colleagues during the Jersey Tollgate Situation, Major A Highway took Jones' former role in the pan-territorial UNIT operations at the UNIT New York Liaison Office, and promised that he would reorganise UNIT's pan-territorial activities, (PROSE: UNIT's New York Operation Expansion) such as UNIT ONE and UNIT THREE, (PROSE: The Dying Days) into a "pivotal single site operation", in part necessitated due to rise "threats to national security". Major Highway found this thrilling, and the news was documented in a press briefing filed by Staff Sergeant A. Frederick, released on 31 March 2005. (PROSE: UNIT's New York Operation Expansion)
By 2009, UNIT indeed had centralised its activities to a major UNIT site, located in a skyscraper. Experiments like Project Indigo were carried out there. At the time the base was overseen by Lieutenant-General Sanchez.
Following Earth's removal from normal space, it was a prime target for the Daleks during the War in the Medusa Cascade. Many of the base's personnel were exterminated in this attack, including Sanchez himself. (TV: The Stolen Earth)
Technology and facilities
The facility had a war room and an international co-ordination centre housed in the war room. It also had ample scientific facilities to house Project Indigo and other scientific facilities and support staff for projects such as the Osterhagen Project. (TV: The Stolen Earth)
Known personnel
Personnel included Major A Highway, (PROSE: UNIT's New York Operation Expansion) Lt General Sanchez, medical director for Project Indigo Martha Jones, Suzanne, Jalandra and Dacosta. (TV: The Stolen Earth)
Behind the scenes
The entry for Sanchez, General in Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia refers to the UNIT base as the "New York headquarters". The entry for UNIT capitalises the name, calling it the "New York Headquarters". The same entry also refers to the base as "UNIT's New York HQ".
