Alan Mace

"Attention all troops! The Sontarans might think of us as primitive, as does every passing species with an axe to grind. They make a mockery of our weapons, our soldiers, our ideals. But no more. From this point on, it stops. From this point on, the people of Earth fight back and we show them. We show the warriors of Sontar what the human race can do."

- Colonel Mace.

Colonel Mace was the man in charge of UNIT from 2005, replacing Colonel Brimmicombe-Wood. He wanted to lead an attack against the Sontarans but the Doctor convinced him otherwise after the deaths of a squad of soldiers including Ross Jenkins. He tried to launch a nuclear attack against the Sontarans, but the Martha clone wiped out the launch codes.

Mace co-ordinated the UNIT counter offensive at the ATMOS factory. Instead of using normal weapons which could be stopped by expanding the copper bullet, he used bullets without a coating so he could attack the Sontarans. He also orders the Valiant to be used to clear the ATMOS gas. He killed Sontaran Commander Skorr with a pistol. (DW: The Sontaran Stratagem/ The Poison Sky)
