When is FPCON DELTA to be applied?

FPCON DELTA is applied in the immediate aftermath of a terrorist attack or when there is a specific threat against a facility, installation, or personnel. This condition indicates that a terrorist attack has occurred or is imminent in a specific area. It demands the highest level of security measures and preparedness to ensure the safety of personnel and assets.

When FPCON DELTA is in effect, security forces are typically on heightened alert, and there may be increased physical security measures, such as access control and heightened surveillance. This level of readiness is critical to responding effectively to potential further threats and protecting those within the affected area.

Understanding FPCON levels is essential for military personnel, as they dictate the degree of security and protection measures implemented in response to threats, ensuring that all personnel are aware of their roles and responsibilities during varying levels of threat.
