What is an increased general threat?

• A. FPCON NORMAL
• B. FPCON ALPHA
• C. FPCON BRAVO
• D. FPCON CHARLIE

Answer: (B)

FPCON levels are a set of security postures used to adjust protective measures in response to terrorist threat. An increased general threat corresponds to the level that signals a higher likelihood of terrorist activity without a specific target in mind. This is described as Alpha. At this level, security is heightened—more patrols, stricter access control, and additional checks—without the all-out restrictions that come with a targeted or imminent threat. In contrast, Bravo is for a more specific or credible threat to a location or target, Charlie indicates an incident is imminent or underway, and Delta refers to an actual attack in progress or attack already occurred.
