What is a general global threat?

• A. FPCON ALPHA
• B. FPCON BRAVO
• C. FPCON NORMAL
• D. FPCON CHARLIE

Answer: (C)

When there isn’t a credible or specific threat targeting the area, the posture remains at the baseline level, FPCON NORMAL. This means operations continue normally with standard security measures in place, because a general global threat doesn’t justify elevating precautions. The other levels step up security in response to more defined or imminent threats: Alpha covers a specific area with high risk, Bravo indicates an increased or more predictable threat, Charlie signals that an attack is possible, and Delta is for imminent or ongoing threats.
