Only other times I remember that happening, when OBL "was killed" and on 9/11 and when there was a big terrorist attack somewhere in the world like the cole bombing or the embassy attacks [/quote] Same as the DEFCON thing, IIRC the Korean forces are usually at 3, compared to CONUS being at 4 (I think the last time that was 3 was 9/11). There have been (obviously unconfirmable) reports of USFK being at DEFCON 2 once or twice. [/quote] true....let's keep in mind though that defcon is more for our nuclear forces...that is more indicative of potential nuclear threats against the united states and our posture in responding to them. [/quote] Yeah, but given some of Kim's threats, it is probably a consideration. [/quote]

Alert state descriptions:
FPCON NORMAL: Applies when a general global threat of possible terrorist activity exists and warrants a routine security posture. At a minimum, access control will be conducted at all military installations and facilities.
FPCON ALPHA: Applies when there is an increased general threat of possible terrorist activity against personnel or facilities, the nature and extent of which are unpredictable. The increased measures during FPCON Alpha must be capable of being maintained indefinitely.
FPCON BRAVO: Applies when an increased or more predictable threat of terrorist activity exists. Sustaining FPCON Bravo measures for a prolonged period may affect operational capability and military-civil relationships with local authorities.
FPCON CHARLIE: Applies when an incident occurs or intelligence is received indicating that some form of terrorist action or targeting against personnel or facilities is likely. Prolonged implementation of FPCON Charlie measures may create hardship and affect the activities of the unit and its personnel.
FPCON DELTA: Applies in the immediate area where a terrorist attack has occurred or when intelligence has been received that terrorist action against a specific location or person is imminent. FPCON Delta is usually declared as a localized condition and is not intended to be sustained for an extended duration.
