What does FPCON ALPHA indicate?

FPCON ALPHA indicates a general threat level where there is a possibility of terrorist activity. This level of force protection signifies that an increase in vigilance and safety measures is necessary, although an imminent threat has not been identified.

At FPCON ALPHA, personnel are encouraged to be aware of their surroundings and report any suspicious activities, while implementing standard security practices. It represents a preventative stance in which measures are in place to deter and respond to potential threats.

The other options suggest either a serious or immediate threat, an evacuation requirement, or a complete absence of threats, which do not align with the definition and intent of FPCON ALPHA.
