The Force Protection Condition, or FPCON, does two things to counter terrorists or other hostile adversaries:
(1) It sets the FPCON level at Normal, Alpha, Bravo, Charlie or Delta.
Normal: Occurs when a general global threat of possible terrorist activity is possible. The minimum FPCON for U.S. Army commands is normal.
Alpha: Occurs when there is an increased general threat of possible terrorist activity against personnel or facilities, the nature and extent of the threat are unpredictable.
Bravo: Applies when an increased or more predictable threat of terrorist activity exists.
Charlie: Applies when an incident occurs or intelligence is received indicating some form of terrorist action or targeting against personnel or facilities is likely. 100% ID card check required.
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. 100% ID card check required.
(2) When an FPCON level is set, certain force protection measures are implemented. For example, if an Army garrison elevates to FPCON Charlie, you might see increased security measures at the gates, or even gate closures and the presence of additional security forces.
When are FPCON levels raised?
The FPCON levels are raised as a threat increases or if an attack has occurred.
Need a FF to get the news cycle away from the debate.
Yeah... seems they're way overdue, right?
EDIT: 5) FOIA - 2020 Coup confirmed https://x.com/Real_RobN/status/1807131397762732072
Still ramping up the war rhetoric.... yes, protection is necessary from the DS until it de-escalates....
I'm telling you there is no better place or occasion for NATO to stage a false-flag attack than Paris during the 2024 Olympics.
If anyone is starting a betting pool... I claim the "Eiffel Tower within 24-hours of the Olympic opening ceremony".
Or... has that square already been claimed?
Let's play FF bingo! Get your cards ready.
Sounds legit. A FF by NATO (criminals anyway) at the PARIS games sounds about like something they would do.
A european city nuked? Berlin? ? I can't see the DS nuking one of their war castles, or any Swiss city.. I pray that this will not happen.
When do they take Jimmy Carter off ice to change the news cycle?
It’s almost Independence Day!
Bring it!
Moscow is considered a European city
Wasn't something supposed to occur under the guise of riot control.

Trump said something to the effect “Charlie will be watching the next election”. Pertinent?
of course, because whenever they don’t get their way, they have to have a temper tantrum
How about we close all our military bases in Europe? How about we put all our focus on improving our own country?
