UNIT-US was the branch of UNIT in the United States of America. It underwent major changes in 2005 to centralise its activities.

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 penned by Staff Sergeant A Frederick, embargoed until 31 March 2005.

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) Petronella Osgood later refered to Dr Jones working for UNIT North America. (AUDIO: The Dalek Transaction)
