Translation please?
The threat level assessment for some form of terrorist attack internal to the United States just got raised for the first time in quite a while, for reasons unknown at present. Maintain your situational awareness (SA) so as to not become a victim.
Sorry - there are two main assessments of threat level that military installations maintain: FPCON, or Force Protection Condition, meaning threats to people or infrastructure, and INFOCON, meaning threats to information systems (computer networks, etc.). Normally, the FPCON is at Alpha, the lowest level, meaning merely “no current identifiable threat, but be vigilant anyway”. The elevation to BRAVO means that Northern Command (NorthCom), which is responsible for security within the 48 states (CONUS), has reason to believe there is an elevated danger of attack within the CONUS.
So many military and former military here on FR, I assumed it would need less explanation - again, sorry.
