Which Force Protection Condition (FPCON) applies when an increased or more predictable threat of terrorist activity exists?

The correct answer is BRAVO, which is the appropriate Force Protection Condition when there is an increased or more predictable threat of terrorist activity. Under FPCON BRAVO, security measures are heightened to provide additional protection against a possible attack. This condition indicates that there is a credible threat where actions and behaviors suggest the likelihood of an incident occurring in the near future.

In practice, FPCON BRAVO may include measures such as enhanced surveillance, increased security presence, and readiness to respond to a crisis as needed. The emphasis on heightened alert helps to deter and mitigate any threats while preparing personnel and resources for potential incidents.

Other conditions such as ALPHA would indicate a general threat that is predictable but not necessarily immediate, whereas CHARLIE signals a more severe threat requiring even greater protective measures. DELTA represents the highest level of alert, typically triggered by a specific threat or incident occurring. Each condition serves a distinct purpose in the layered security framework to protect personnel and assets.
