| Lime Flavoured Redux User ID: 36239413 United Kingdom03/30/2013 04:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The highest, or most dangerous force threat level on that chart is Delta. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3579277 So if the chart shows that state, then things are probably getting a bit hairy. good info op....that is accurate with what I had been hearing myself at least in the theatre there. IIRC the USFK is always at a higher alert than most other places. |

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 Last Edited by godzilla85 on 03/30/2013 04:30 AM |

There have been (obviously unconfirmable) reports of USFK being at DEFCON 2 once or twice. |

Yeah, but given some of Kim's threats, it is probably a consideration. |

| The Scientist User ID: 23788152 United Kingdom03/30/2013 04:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | THREATCON CHARLIE applies when an incident occurs or intelligence is received indicating some form of terrorist action against personnel and facilities is imminent. Implementation of measures in this THREATCON for more than a short period probably will create hardship and affect the peacetime activities of the unit and its personnel. (1) Measure 30. Continue, or introduce, all measures listed in THREATCON BRAVO. (2) Measure 31. Keep all personnel responsible for implementing antiterrorist plans at their places of duty. (3) Measure 32. Limit access points to the absolute minimum. (4) Measure 33. Strictly enforce control of entry. Randomly search vehicles. (5) Measure 34. Enforce centralized parking of vehicles away from sensitive buildings. (6) Measure 35. Issue weapons to guards. Local orders should include specific orders on issue of ammunition. (7) Measure 36. Increase patrolling of the installation. (8) Measure 37. Protect all designated vulnerable points. Give special attention to vulnerable points outside the military establishment. (9) Measure 38. Erect barriers and obstacles to control traffic flow. (10) Measure 39. Consult local authorities about closing public (and military) roads and facilities that might make sites more vulnerable to attacks. (11) Measure 40. To be determined.

Thankyou. I think the North Koreans now are working themselves up into such a lather, they won't be able to wind themselves back down so easily from that contentious heightened mental state. |
