U.N.I.T., or more simply, UNIT, was a transnational paramilitary organisation that was initially led by Brigadier Alastair Lethbridge-Stewart until the late 20th century, and operated under the auspices of the United Nations until the mid-2000s. UNIT's anacronym originally stood for the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce, though after dissociation from the UN, the organisation became to be known as the Unified Intelligence Taskforce. Operations performed by UNIT were almost always classified, thus leaving the organisation to garner a secret, and even mysterious, reputation.

While technically there existed a distinction between the organisation as a whole and its contingency in the United Kingdom, which once known as UNIT-UK, the keystone of the organisation was the UK contingency; indeed, the operations from the UK were almost always the most pivotal, and any international divisions were entirely subsidiary to the UK operation.

After Lethbridge-Stewart
After the period of time that was retroactively described as UNIT's "golden period", the late 1960s to the ealy 1980s, though some claimed that UNIT was still operating fully during the 1980s. From the mid-1980s to the early 2000s, UNIT's activities would gradually decline due to the smaller amount of threats to humanity at that time; UNIT's size also decreased, reducing the taskforce to "a hard core of operationally experienced higher ranks and a still very active non-conventional R&D Corps."

The 21st century
Despite UNIT's decrease in size over the course of the 1980s and 1990s, UNIT would begin to expand rapidly again in the early 2000s due to the sheeer increase in "extra-territorial threats." (PROSE: UNIT History: Fighting the unknown)
