You use the varStatus attribute to define a variable which stores the info for you.
Among other things, it provides a index (0 based) and a count (1 based) track of which item you are at in the list.
<c:forEach items="unitList" var="element"  varStatus="status">
  <c:out value="Index:  ${status.index}.   Count: ${status.count}"/>
</c:forEach> would produce:
Index: 0 Count: 1
Index: 1 Count: 2
Index: 2 Count: 3
