Force Protection Levels
What is the "Force Protection Condition"?

Force Protection Conditions (FPCON) exist with varying degrees of restrictiveness in order to protect US military interests. The more restrictive conditions are generally reserved for periods of suspected or anticipated terrorist activity. There are four Force Protection Conditions:
  • FPCON ALPHA
    Applies when there is an increased general threat of possible terrorist activity against personnel or facilities, the nature and extent of which are unpredictable.
  • FPCON BRAVO
    Applies when an increased or more predictable threat of terrorist activity exists.
  • FPCON CHARLIE
    Applies when an incident occurs or intelligence is received indicating some form of terrorist action or targeting against personnel or facilities is likely.
  • FPCON DELTA
    Applies in the immediate area where a terrorist attack has occurred or when intelligence has been received that terrorist action against a specific location or person is imminent.
The condition level depends upon the nature and extent of the threat with Delta being the highest level.
