The PDF is under the control of the local government rather than direct Imperial control; : the raising, training, arming, leadership, etc, is entirely in the hands of the [[Imperial Governor]]. All Imperial planets in general are required to maintain a standing army in order to maintain government (and thus Imperial) control over the planet against any possible invasion or insurrection.
In response to any threat, the PDF has the responsibility to engage the enemy until Imperial reinforcements can be mustered from the nearby sector. Thus although rarely respected due to their inherent lack of experience, PDF are widely considered crucial to the [[Departmento Munitorum]] as the first line of defence for Imperial worlds against [[Xenos]] invasion and [[Chaos]]-inspired rebellion.
