Which FPCON indicates a general global threat exists and routine security posture?

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

Answer: (C)

FPCON levels indicate how ready and secure a location should be. The level that corresponds to routine, everyday security is Normal. It represents the baseline posture with no specific threat prompting extra measures. If there were a general global threat, the expectation would be to raise to a higher level (more security measures), but for routine operations, Normal is the baseline. The other levels denote progressively heightened threat conditions: Alpha means an increased general threat, Bravo indicates a more significant threat requiring extra precautions, Charlie reflects an incident or credible threat that triggers further security tightening, and Delta signifies an imminent or actual attack.
