The TDF (Terrestrial Defense Force)
is an international military organization formed to defend Earth from any invasion.History
Ultraseven
To protect the Earth from any alien invasions or monsters, the human government established the TDF and set up the special unit UG as the main defense force.
In addition to the headquarters in Paris and the Far East base that governs the Asian region, TDF also has branches in international cities such as Washington, Moscow, London, Berlin, the Arctic, Sydney, and Cairo. They also have some scientific facilities, including the Antarctic Science Center, which is responsible for the research and development of new military technologies. In addition, TDF's technological strength is reflected in their space stations V1 to V3, which are located in Earth's orbit, as well as a lunar base.
The organization presumably formed into the Terrestrial Defense Agency by 1971 and headed MAT and subsequent organizations.
Heisei Ultraseven
The Heisei Ultraseven series reveals an alternate timeline where the events that occurred in Ultraseven were the only age of monsters; in thirty years, TDF continues to expand, in addition to moving the Far East branch from Shizuoka to the Tokyo Bay area, it also added various military facilities and established front-line bases on multiple planets in space.
Five years after the "Friendship Plan," which used warp-navigated missiles to attack intelligent life forms residing on other planets, was terminated by higher-ups, some extraterrestrial beings attempting to invade Earth conspired and gradually took control of TDF's leadership, ultimately leading to the destruction of TDF departments.
The UG got ordered to be dissolved multiple times during this period, but in reality, it secretly continued to fight against extraterrestrial beings. Later, the remaining TDF departments rebuilt the organization once again.
Bases
Far East Base
TDF's Far East Base is located several hundred meters away from Mount Fuji in Shizuoka, Japan. With around 3,000 members working at the base, it is strictly disguised, using the terrain and natural conditions to defend against alien invasions. In addition, the Eastern Base also has many facilities, including the UG's command room, medical center, member private rooms, fuel room, power room, and the most advanced equipment in the hangar. Furthermore, the base also has ultra-sensitive radar facilities, as well as a hotel for visitors, an underground single-track railway, and private secret passages. However, the equipment used by most organizational personnel is not a computer but a scroll-type device.
By the time of Heisei Ultraseven, the base was relocated to the great Tokyo Bay region. It was eventually destroyed by the UG after they found out TDF was overrun by alien infiltrators. Innocent
As for the World of the Land of Light, the base was repurposed into a spaceship launching base after the disbandment of the Ultra Guard. Ultraman Mebius: Anderes Horizont
