Which FPCON would you follow in a normal, unthreatened environment?

In a normal, unthreatened environment, the appropriate Force Protection Condition (FPCON) to follow is FPCON Alpha. This level indicates a general threat and is the least restrictive of the FPCON levels. It is implemented when there is no specific or credible threat but recognizes the necessity for increased security awareness.

FPCON Alpha focuses on establishing basic security measures aimed at maintaining a state of readiness to respond to any potential threat. Personnel are reminded to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities while routine operational security measures are maintained to deter potential risks.

Higher FPCON levels, such as Bravo, Charlie, and Delta, are designed for environments where there is an elevated threat level or specific intelligence indicating a credible risk, which is not applicable in a normal, unthreatened scenario. Therefore, FPCON Alpha is the correct choice for such conditions.
