Lieutenant-General Sanchez was a high-ranking UNIT officer.

Profile
Sanchez was in command of UNIT when the Daleks invaded the Earth in 2009. He appointed Martha Jones, the Medical Director of Project Indigo; a teleportation system developed from Sontaran technology. Sanchez and the United Nations declared an 'Ultimate Code Red' when the Exterminate message was sent by the Daleks to the Human race.

When the Daleks invaded UNIT's New York Base, Sanchez and another soldier attempted to fight the Daleks as Sanchez ordered Martha to escape by means of the Project Indigo prototype taking with her the Osterhagen Key. Sanchez's scream was heard after Martha teleported, confirming his extermination by the Daleks. (DW: The Stolen Earth)
