Which FPCON level indicates an incident occurs or intelligence is received indicating some form of terrorist action or targeting against personnel or facilities is likely?

• A. FPCON Delta
• B. FPCON Charlie
• C. FPCON Alpha
• D. FPCON Bravo

Answer: (B)

FPCON levels guide how security posture tightens in response to threat information. The situation described—an incident occurring or intelligence indicating that some form of terrorist action or targeting against personnel or facilities is likely—fits the level where credible threat information has materialized and security measures are heightened accordingly. This level signals that an attack is plausible and prompts increased deterrence, access screening, more patrols, and greater vigilance around critical areas, without the base-wide lockdown or specific-location triggers that come with the highest level. The Alpha level covers a general, non-specific threat; Bravo signals a more explicit threat but not necessarily an incident or likely attack; Delta is reserved for an attack already occurred or imminent at a specific location, requiring maximum readiness. So the described scenario aligns with the level commonly used when an incident has occurred or credible intelligence indicates a likely threat.
