Correct. FP (Force Protection) Condition Delta is the highest alert. Though I've heard it's only the US East coast posts that are at Delta; I've had reports that most overseas bases are at Charlie. FPCon is a localized alert state and will vary by location. DEFCON 2 has been reached, I believe. DEFCON 1 does not necessarily equate automatically to war, however. It is merely the maximum level of force readiness. -- Mark C. Langston mark@bitshift.org Systems & Network Admin http://www.bitshift.org
