Which FPCON level indicates an increased or more predictable threat of terrorist activity exists, with probable violence but nothing indicates that the installation is a target?

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

Answer: (C)

FPCON levels describe how likely a terrorist threat is and how to adjust security accordingly. The level in question signals an increased or more predictable threat of terrorism, with probable violence, but nothing indicates the installation itself is the target. That means security is heightened—more patrols, tighter access controls, and additional screening—without assuming an imminent attack on this site. The other levels don’t fit: Normal is baseline with no heightened threat; Alpha covers a general threat with routine security; Charlie indicates an imminent or ongoing attack and requires the highest precautions. So the best fit is the level described.
