How many basic THREATCON conditions are established for security readiness?

The established basic THREATCON conditions for security readiness are four. These conditions provide a framework for assessing the threat level and instituting appropriate security measures to protect personnel and assets.

Each THREATCON level corresponds to a specific degree of threat and has corresponding procedures and actions that must be taken. The levels range from lowest to highest, with THREATCON Normal representing a general state of readiness, up to THREATCON Delta, which indicates a specific, confirmed threat that necessitates immediate and enhanced security measures.

This four-tiered system allows military and security personnel to effectively communicate and implement security measures tailored to the severity of threats, ensuring optimal preparedness and response.
