UNIT stands for UNified Intelligence Taskforce, (formerly it stood for United Nations Intelligence Taskforce), a fictional entity in the Doctor Who universe.
UNIT first appeared in the Second Doctor serial The Invasion, (1968), although Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart had appeared earlier in The Web of Fear (1968) as a colonel.
UNIT went on to feature in many Third Doctor stories, as the Doctor is shown being exiled to Earth in Spearhead from Space (1970), and becomes UNIT's Scientific Advisor following the Auton attack. The Doctor would maintain this post in subsequent incarnations. UNIT is a large organisation and many personnel have featured in Doctor Who over the years. Some lead, supporting and recurring characters have worked for or have been affiliated with the organisation.
Corporal Adams, played by Max Faulkner, is stationed in Devesham during the Kraal invasion, as seen in the Fourth Doctor serial The Android Invasion (1975). The Kraals make an android replica of him. Faulkner had previously played a UNIT Soldier in the Third Doctor serial The Ambassadors of Death (1970).
Colonel Ahmed (played by Sanjeev Baskhar) is a senior UNIT officer who is seen serving during the crisis when the Earth's dead are reconstituted as Cybermen, as seen in "Death in Heaven" (2014). He serves aboard the presidential aircraft Boat One, and is killed when the Cybermen destroys the aircraft.
