The 1945 Personnel Distribution Command Comets football team represented the Personnel Distribution Command (PDC) based in Greensboro, North Carolina and Louisville, Kentucky during the 1945 college football season. The Comets competed in the Army Air Forces League (AAF League) with six others teams from the United States Army Air Forces. The team compiled an overall record of 6–5 with a mark of 2–4 in league play, placing sixth in the AAF League.

The Comets began the season with Captain Ted Shipkey as head coach. In October, after the team's first three games, Shipkey was discharged from military service and returned to the University of New Mexico, where he had been head football coach before World War II. He was succeeded by Major Wally Marks who had coached at Indiana State University before the war. Staff Sergeant Jim Harris was the team's line coach until he was discharged along with Shipkey.

The PDC Comets were ranked 27th among the nation's college and service teams in the final Litkenhous Ratings.
