The Dignity Battalions are a paramilitary militia created by Panama's government in the 1980s to help defend Panama against both invasion by the United States and internal subversive activity. They were formed in early April 1988 and were de facto dissolved along with the Panamanian Defense Forces on February 10, 1990.
