Topic: FPCON


In the News (Tue 2 Dec 08)

  
  Force Protection Condition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The decision on what level of FPCON to implement is affected by the current threat of terrorism towards military facilities and personnel, the amount of security forces available, and current relationships between the United States and the world, which may affect the chances of an attack.
FPCON was previously known as THREATCON, until it was renamed in June 2001 due to confusion with United States State Department system of threat assessment.
FPCON ALPHA describes a situation where there is a small and general terrorist activity that is not predictable.
