Which FPCON indicates a specific threat against a facility has been identified?

1. FPCON Alpha

2. FPCON Bravo

3. FPCON Charlie

4. FPCON Delta

The correct answer is: FPCON Charlie

FPCON Charlie is the level that indicates a specific threat against a facility has been identified. At this stage, security measures are heightened in response to credible information about an imminent threat. This could involve increased personnel presence, heightened vigilance, and operational adjustments to protect against a known risk. In contrast, FPCON Alpha and FPCON Bravo represent more general conditions of heightened alert and increased security, meant to prepare for possible threats but not in direct response to identified dangers. FPCON Delta involves a situation where an attack is imminent or has occurred, necessitating a lockdown or immediate defensive measures. Each level serves different purposes in the overall structure of security protocols, but it is FPCON Charlie that specifically addresses the presence of a known threat requiring immediate attention and action.
