[quote:Anonymous Coward 20906040:MV8yMTkwMTEwXzM3MDYyNDYzX0Q2NDVGNDVF] this is only for the whats defcon mean people....................................................................................................................... DefCon is "Defense Condition" and it indicates the level of preparedness of United States Military Forces. DefCon 5 - Normal peacetime operations. DefCon 4 - Still considered "peacetime", but intelligence gathering is increased and national security measures are tightened. The U.S. was at DefCon 4 for most of the Cold War. DefCon 3 - Military assets are readied. "Callsigns" for deployed assets change from publicly-known signals to classified ones. The U.S. has been at this level 3 times, most recently after the events of September 11th. DefCon 2 - Further increase of military readiness. All forces not already in position are placed on "stand by" alert. DefCon 2 was used once, during the Cuban Missle Crisis. DefCon 1 - Maximum military readiness. All forces are active. DefCon 1 is considered to be the "total war" level and may only refer to a nuclear attack scenario since it has never been used to date. [/quote]
