Which FPCON level applies when a general global threat of possible terrorist activity exists and warrants a routine security posture?

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

Answer: (B)

FPCON levels guide how security is adjusted to threats. Normal is the baseline with routine operations and no increased measures. When there’s a general threat of possible terrorist activity, the level used keeps a routine security posture but adds vigilance and some enhanced precautions—this corresponds to Alpha. Higher levels ( Bravo, Charlie, Delta) are for more specific or imminent threats and require stricter actions. The described situation, a general threat that still warrants a routine posture, fits Alpha.
