Security level raised Published May 6, 2011 ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- The on-going strife in the Middle East and the death of Osama bin Laden has prompted a change in the Force Protection Condition on base. At the direction of U.S. Northern Command, which sets the baseline security level for all military installations in the United States, including Robins, the FPCON is now Bravo. The installations have been directed to sustain Bravo measures until further notice. FPCON levels are Normal (lowest), Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta (highest), and security is progressively more strict at each level. People are likely to encounter challenges such as having to park further away from buildings and delays entering and exiting the installation, and facilities. Although no specific threat has been assessed for military personal or facilities in the U.S., NORTHCOM elevated the FPCON level as a precaution against possible retaliation. Personnel are urged to remain vigilant and report out-of-the-ordinary observations to their chain of command or law enforcement officials.
