Force Protection Condition levels
Force Protection Condition levels measure threats to an installation and prescribe specific defense procedures to mitigate the danger and protect Airmen and resources. Oftentimes, quarterly exercises will launch the base into a higher level of security, mimicking the installation-wide implications of a real-world threat. FPCON shifts are a chance for Airmen to practice patience, collaboration and readiness. Security changes affect every Airmen living or working at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and knowing what to expect will help all carry out their duties during both real and simulated threats.
