History
Initiated as a subsidary of the United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), the Anti-Umbrella Pursuit and Investigation Team was the U.S Government's main attempt at completely eradicating Umbrella. While Umbrella's trial before the Supreme Court was in process, a direct take down of the organization would have been impossible. Instead, the AUPIT was established in order to hunt down and suppress any instances of bio-terror instigated by Umbrella and it's employees.
In 2002, the AUPIT 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 US and China. 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 supporters and benefactors.
Another prominent member of the organization was Leon S. Kennedy, who worked with the organization following the Raccoon City incident until its dissolution in 2002.
In late 2002 AUPIT was officially dissolved following the fallout from the Spencer Rain incident. It is also possible that internal reshuffles within the Department of Defence and budgetry changes within USSTRATCOM played some role in this.
