  • FPCON Levels


    Defense Department Instruction (DODI O-2000.16 V-2) DoD Antiterrorism Program Implementation: DoD Force Protection Condition (FPCON) System states that FPCON is defined as a terrorist threat system overseen by the U.S. Defense Department and describes a number of measures that need to be taken by an installation commander in response to a terrorist threat. This system is designed to help the commander to deter, detect, delay, deny and defend the installation they have jurisdiction over.

    To assist the commander, the FPCON system is divided into five levels:

    • FPCON NORMAL: Applies at all times as a general threat of terrorist attacks, hostile acts, or other security threats, always exists in the world. (Deter)
       
    • FPCON ALPHA: Applies to a non-specific threat of a terrorist, of a terrorist attack or hostile act directed against DoD elements and personnel. (Detect)
       
    • FPCON BRAVO: Applies when an increased or more predictable threat of terrorism attack or hostile act exists and is directed against DoD elements and personnel. (Delay)
       
    • FPCON CHARLIE: Applies when a terrorist or hostile incident occurs within the commander’s area of interest or intelligence is received indicating a hostile act, some form of terrorist action or targeting of DoD elements, personnel or facilities. (Deny)
       
    • FPCON DELTA: Applies when a terrorist attack or hostile act has occurred or is anticipated against specific installations or operating areas. (Defend)
