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)
