In my campaign the Panama Canal was closed to shipping after the Soviet Navy announced that they had placed nuclear mines in the canal in late 1997 or early 1998 (I don't have my notes available). The canal and most of Panama later came under the control of France after US forces withdrew back to the States.
Borrowing from Cyberpunk 2020's history, in my campaign there ended up being a combined force of US and allied personnel dubbed "Team Panama" who ended up having to make their own way back to the States after US control of Panama collapsed. Team Panama was mostly made up of various special forces types (including Green Berets, SEALs and ISA) who had been deployed either in Panama or in nearby countries and had regrouped and incorporated allied personnel who had also not made it out. Once Major Po's unit made it back to the CONUS it ended up absorbing more than a dozen members of Team Panama partly because of previous contacts and friendships between members of his team and Team Panama.
