Did Panama ever have a military?
Panama doesn't have a military, I believe. Has it always been this way? How long has Panama not had a military?

There are lots of good links already on the site that deal with the questions you have posted. I realize that you're new, but a look around before posting would cut down on the number of duplicate postings.

Wow, Panama just recently got rid of their military. I hope that a military never comes back. I think it is good for a country not to have a military.

The official CIA website says that Panama does not have a military force. Since 1990, forming a military force has been prohibited. Specialized police units might be formed to deal with acts of "external aggression"
