Multiple Bases raise FPCon to Bravo, then ordered back to Alpha
TheReporter.com (banned on this site) reported Travis upped to Bravo

WALB ( [link to www.walb.com] reported Moody

[link to enidnews.com] reported Vance

But then Papa Son said not so fast, sorta. A few hours later NORTHCOM ordered all bases to remain at or revert to Alpha for 9-11-11.

[link to politics.blogs.foxnews.com]

Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta has approved a request to increase force protection on U.S. based military installations in preparation for the 10th anniversary of 9/11, Pentagon Press Secretary George Little announced Wednesday.

In addition, Fox News has obtained an internal document sent from Northern Command with instructions for all military bases operate under security level ALPHA through Sept. 11.

ALPHA is only one step up from a normal or standard security status. It increases in order from NORMAL to ALPHA, to BRAVO to CHARLIE. CHARLIE would be established if intelligence shows and imminent threat. DELTA is the highest level and would be declared when an actual attack is occurring.

If nothing happens this will be seen as prudent. If something does happen this will be construed, by some, to be a stand down, particularly if it appears additional measures enacted by FPCON Bravo would have been useful compared to Alpha stance.

Sigh, the media latching onto the Sheriff comparing a blown gasket behind a gun to 9-11...sorry, but even if one believes the "official" story of 9-11 this guy's actions don't compare to 9-11.

Get to know the truth behind 9-11 (or at least identify the lies) and the comparison is beyond ludicrous.

Yes for the bin laden scam op.

The nut job in Carson was just that a nut job he had no way to know NG personell would be eating there that morning in fact he was shoting at the people in the mcdonalds parking first. That shit has nothing to with 9/11.

Personally I would rather them stay at Bravo and keep the heightened security to keep soldiers and their families safe.

When they say to not implement Bravo 9 do they mean Bravo (9) Measure 19?

Re: Multiple Bases raise FPCon to Bravo, then ordered back to Alpha
So the reporters keep saying "Pentagan Raises Security Level", however that's the very opposite of what has happened. The Pentagon ordered bases to stay at ALPHA, even if they had raised to BRAVO. Some of the articles act as though ALPHA was a raise, but so far as I can find bases were already at ALPHA.

Granted, bases that were still at ALPHA will be raising security measures by implementing just SOME of the BRAVO protocols, however their actual FPCON levels were not raised. I suppose some bases were still at NORMAL, though I have yet to see any confirmation of that.

I'm raising my eyebrows too, man.

Re: Multiple Bases raise FPCon to Bravo, then ordered back to Alpha
I'm so confused, such conflicting reports - were they not ordered down to Alpha? And then was that order negated when there was an actual "credible threat" being reported (a qualifier for Bravo).

[link to mcalesternews.com]

McALESTER — The McAlester Army Ammunition Plant is under a state of heightened alert and will remain so until orders are changed.

McAAP has been under the increased Force Protection Condition since last Sunday, Sept. 4, according to McAAP Public Affairs Specialist Mark Hughes.

As a result of the heightened security measures, McAAP’s Force Protection Condition, also known as FPCON, has been raised by a single level.

 Quoting:

“The McAlester Army Ammunition Plant raised its FPCON from Alpha to Bravo at the direction of the U.S. Northern Command in light of the upcoming 10th anniversary of 9-11,”
