Pan Pacific Defense Corps (PPDC)
The military organisation that runs the Jaeger program.
The Pan Pacific Defense Corps (PPDC) is the military organisation behind the Jaeger program in Pacific Rim. Mako Mori belongs to its J-Tech division, and Raleigh Becket ends up on a wall-building crew in Alaska after retiring from the corps. When world leaders move funding from the Jaegers to coastal defense walls, the remaining Jaegers are relocated to the Hong Kong Shatterdome under Marshal Stacker Pentecost.

Background
In Pacific Rim Uprising, set ten years later, the Jaeger program has been reinstated and Mako Mori runs the PPDC, while Jake Pentecost returns to the corps. Shao Industries' drone program threatens to replace its pilots; when the drones are hijacked by cloned Kaiju brains, Kaiju-Jaeger hybrids attack every Shatterdome at once and destroy or disable most of the Jaegers.
