PANAMA: DOD's Drawdown Plan for the U.S. Military in Panama

Abstract

The Panama Canal Treaty and the Treaty Concerning the Permanent Neutrality and Operations of the Panama Canal went into effect on October 1, 1979. These treaties now serve as the primary basis for U.S.-Panamanian relations. Treaty provisions require that the United States transfer, without charge, all U.S. military real property and nonremovable improvements in Panama to the Panamanian government. The treaties also call for the continued neutrality of the canal but specify that by December 31, 1999, all U.S. military forces will be withdrawn from Panama and only Panama will operate and maintain military forces, defense sites, and military installations within its national territory.1
