Antiterrorism Flashcards
Force Protection
security program designed to protect service members, employees, family, facilities, information, and equipment via planned and integrat3d application of combating terrorism, physical security, operations security, personel protective services, and supported by intelligence, counter intel, security programs
defensive measures to reduce the vulnerability of individuals and property
antiterrorism
antiterrorism
defensive measures to reduce the vulnerability of individuals and property. effective detect, defend, and respond to a terror threat.
Cbt
Combating Terrorism
short for combating terrorism
CbT
what should antiterrorism measures be
scaleable and proportional
Force Protection
preventative measures to mitigbate hostile actions against DOD personnel, resources, facilities, and critical information
what does force protection not include
actions to defeat the enemy
protection agaisnt accidents, weather, disease
characteristic of the FP COnditions
defensive in nature yet proactive enough to provide the DoD cCOmbonent the maximum flexibility to protect DoD elements, personnel, resources, and interests across the full range of military oeprations
FPCON
force protection
3 principles of force protection
-effects
FPCON levels
FPCON measures
purpose of commanders changing FPCON & using the measures
deter detect delay deny defend
what does each level of FPCON correspond to
each level orresponds to an increased probability of a terrorist attack or hostile act
what happens when a commander declares a FPCON level
employs the appropriate FPCON measures to achieve their desired effects to mitigbate the risks from terrorist or hostile act threats
levels of FPCON
5
Normal to Delta
FPCON Normal
-all times. general threats that always exist 9n the world.
FPCON Normal 1
- REgularly inform all personnel of the general threat situation and the reason for any changes in FPCON measures
FPCON Normal 2
Commensurate with mission requirements, reduce installation and facility access points to include ground, water, and air avenues, for vehicles and personnel based on threaty
FPCON Normal 3
Establish and implement procedures to report indications of terrorist or hostile actor suveillance of DoD elements and personnel
FPCON Normal 4
Implement methods to oibtain intelligence and counterintelligence updates on terrorist and other hostile threats
RAM
random antiterrorism measures
FPCON Normal 5
Institute random antiterrorism measures (RAM) to enhance deterrence and detection efforts and other security program requirements
FPCON Normal 6
Ensure all assigned military personnel, DoD civilian personnel, and contractors receive appropriate personnel recovery training pursuant to DoDD 3002.01
FPCON Alpha
terror act/hostile act is possible but there is no specific information indicating a direct/indirect threat to DoD elements
how long must a commander be able to sustain FPCON Alpha
sustain indefinitately
purpose of FPCON Alpha
terror/hostile act is possible but there is no specific intel about specifics
continuum of FPCON
normal - alpha-bravo-charlie-delta
deter, detect, delay, deny, defend
2 commander intents during FPCON Alpha
- implement enhanced capabilities to deter and detect general, non-specific threats of terrorist attacks, hostile acfts, and other security threats targeting DoD elements and personnel
- prepare to implement additional measures designed to delay, deny, and defend against these threats should the likelihood or expected consequences of these threats increase
FPCON Alpha 1
increase the number of RAM to enhance deterrence and detection efforts and other security program requirements
FPCON Alpha 2
conduct random inspections of privately owned vehicles and personnel entering DoD owned/controlled installations and facilities including items in the vehicles and items carried by personnel
FPCON Alpha 3
implement notification and communications procedures. notify personnel of all FPCON changes when they occur. test emergency notification and communication procedures/equipment
FPCON Bravo
applies when an increased or more predictable threat of a terroorist attack or hstile act exists and is directed against DoD elements and personnel
purpose of FPCON Bravo
commanders declare FPCON Bravo when information indicates that a direct or indirect threat of a terrorist attack or hostile act targeting DoD elements and personnel is likely bu tgte specific timinbg, nature, and targets of these threats cannot be identified
direct/indirect terror/hostile act targeting DoD is likely but the specific timing, nature, and targets of htese threats cannot be ID
FPCON Bravo
