A special team within U.S.STRATCOM (United States Strategic Command) tasked with eliminating the remnants of Umbrella Pharmaceutical. The Anti-Umbrella Pursuit and Investigation Team was the U.S. government's secretive formal attempt at completely eradicating the Umbrella Corporation following the Raccoon City incident.
History
Established sometime after the U.S. government suspended Umbrella's business decree in the United States and the dissolution of Umbrella USA in February 1999. While Umbrella's trial before the Supreme Court was in process, A-U.P.I.T. was established in order to hunt down the remnants of Umbrella and also suppress any instances of bioterrorism instigated by Umbrella or its employees.
In 2002, A-U.P.I.T. proved invaluable in the eventual downfall of Umbrella. Through the efforts of agent Bruce McGivern, rogue former Umbrella scientist Morpheus D. Duvall was disarmed and eliminated before he could infect a mass population of the United States and China with the t-virus. Along with Morpheus' downfall came the destruction of another Umbrella facility in the Atlantic Ocean and the Spencer Rain cruiser, which was destroyed by Morpheus himself. This killed off a large percentage of Umbrella, along with many of their potential customers and sponsors.
In late 2002 A-U.P.I.T. was officially dissolved following the Spencer Rain incident. It is also possible that internal reshuffles within the Department of Defence and budgetary changes within U.S.STRATCOM played some role in this.
