Panamanian Defense Forces

The Panamanian Defense Forces (Spanish: Fuerzas de Defensa de Panamá or Fuerzas de Defensa Panameñas) were the national defense forces of Panama. Manuel Noriega was the Commander of the PDF. In Call of Duty: Black Ops II, they are featured as friendly in "Time and Fate". Noriega betrays them, but they're still loyal to the Americans. They are enemies in the Menendez playable part in "Time and Fate" and in "Suffer with Me".

Nicaragua, 1986
In "Time and Fate", they aid the CIA to capture Raul Menendez under the orders of Noriega. The PDF manage to capture him by assaulting his mansion, but Noriega betrayed the PDF by killing two of his own soldiers and releasing Menendez. Raul Menendez kills dozens of PDFs in his search for his sister, Josefina. After Woods throws a grenade to Menendez and the room is damaged, the PDF are seen helping Hudson, Mason and Woods, as well as they eliminate the rest of Menendez' Cartel.

Panama, 1989
Three years after Nicaragua, President George H.W. Bush orders an invasion of Panama in order to look for Noriega and capture him alive. While the United States Army Rangers start the raid in Panama to distract the PDF, the Navy SEALs, along with Woods, Mason and Mark McKnight, start the search for Noriega in outskirts of the city. In the ending of the mission, they are seen at the Panama Canal, still following Noriega's orders, he betrays one of his soldiers.
