What Force Protection Condition (FPCON) should be set when a terrorist attack has occurred in the area?

When a terrorist attack has occurred in the area, the appropriate Force Protection Condition to set is FPCON Delta. This condition represents the highest level of security that can be deployed and is initiated when there is an immediate and specific threat to personnel or installations. Under FPCON Delta, security measures are significantly intensified, including heightened surveillance, increased security personnel, and restrictions on movement to protect individuals and assets from further attacks.

FPCON Delta is reserved for situations that require an extreme response to an imminent threat, whereas the other conditions (Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie) correspond to lesser levels of threat and allow for more flexibility in operations and security measures. Implementing FPCON Delta reflects the seriousness of the situation and the urgent need to safeguard against potential further attacks.
