Description[?]:
| The following military readiness plans should be used by the military in order to organize in case of emergency. These levels of readiness are to be ordered by the President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. REDCON is short for Readiness Condition and is used to refer to a unit's readiness to respond to and engage in combat operations. There are four REDCON levels, as described below: * REDCON-1: Full alert; unit ready to move and fight. o WMD alarms and hot loop equipment stowed; OPs pulled in. o All personnel alert and mounted on vehicles; weapons manned. o Engines started. o Company team is ready to move immediately. * REDCON-1.5 o WMD alarms and hot loop equipment stowed; OPs pulled in. o All personnel alert and mounted on vehicles; weapons manned. o Company team is ready to move immediately. * REDCON-2: Full alert; unit ready to fight. o Equipment stowed (except hot loop and WMD alarms). o Precombat checks complete. o All personnel alert and mounted in vehicles; weapons manned. o (NOTE: Depending on the tactical situation and orders from the commander, dismounted OPs may remain in place.) o All (100 percent) digital and FM communications links operational. o Status reports submitted in accordance with task force SOP. o Company team is ready to move within 15 minutes of notification. * REDCON-3: Reduced alert. o Fifty percent of the unit executes work and rest plans. o Remainder of the unit executes security plan. Based on the commander’s guidance and the enemy situation, some personnel executing the security plan may execute portions of the work plan. o Company team is ready to move within 30 minutes of notification. * REDCON-4: Minimum alert. o OPs manned; one soldier per platoon designated to monitor radio and man turret weapons. o Digital and FM links with task force and other company teams maintained. o Company team is ready to move within one hour of notification. There are five Force Protection Conditions; the commander of Lodamun's Northern Command determines what the minimum force protection level will be for every Lodamese installation in the continental Lodamun Republic. LODNORTHCOM sets the force protection condition level for so many installations because it is the Unified Combatant Command whose geographic area of responsibility is Lodamun. Individual facility and installation commanders may increase their local force protection levels as they feel is necessary, but they must adhere to at least the minimum level prescribed by LODNORTHCOM. Force protection can include procedures as basic as checking identification cards at the entrance to an installation and requiring credentials to get inside a building. However, when necessary, force protection procedures can become as stringent as inspecting every vehicle, person and bag entering an installation. The five Force Protection Condtions are: * FPCON NORMAL describes a situation of no current terrorist activity. The only security forces needed are enough to stop the everyday criminal, most likely civilian police forces. * FPCON ALPHA describes a situation where there is a small and general terrorist activity that is not predictable. However, agencies will inform personnel that there is a possible threat and standard security procedure review is conducted. * FPCON BRAVO describes a situation with somewhat predictable terrorist threat. Security measures taken by agency personnel may affect the activities of local law enforcement and the general public. * FPCON CHARLIE describes a situation when an instance occurs or when intelligence reports that there is terrorist activity imminent. * FPCON DELTA describes a situation when a terrorist attack is taking place or has just occurred. FPCON DELTA usually occurs only in the areas that are most vulnerable to or have been attacked. The DEFense readiness CONdition (DEFCON) is a measure of the activation and readiness level of the United Republics of Lodamun Armed Forces. It describes progressive postures for use between the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the commanders of unified commands. DEFCONs are matched to the situations of military severity. Standard peacetime protocol is DEFCON 5, descending in increasingly severe situations. DEFCON 1 represents expectation of actual imminent attack, and is not known to have ever been declared. DEFCON 5 This is the condition used to designate normal peacetime military readiness. An upgrade in military preparedness is typically made by the Joint Chiefs of Staff (ordered by the President) and announced by the Minister of Defense DEFCON 4 This refers to normal, increased intelligence and the heightening of national security measures. DEFCON 3 This refers to an increase to force readiness above normal. Radio call signs used by Lodamese forces change to currently classified call signs. DEFCON 2 This refers to a further increase in force readiness just below maximum readiness. DEFCON 1 This refers to maximum readiness. It is reserved for imminent or ongoing attack on Lodamese military forces or Lodamese territory by a foreign military power. EMERGCON (Emergency Condition) is a state of readiness that is separate from DEFCON, in that it incorporates civilian measures in addition to the DEFCON military measures. EMERGCONs are a state of readiness following an ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile) attack. Other forces go to DEFCON 1 during EMERGCONs. There are two types of EMERGCONs: * Defense Emergency: A major hostile attack on Lodamun and/or allied forces overseas, and/or an overt action made against Lodamun. This must be confirmed by a unified commander or higher authority. * Air Defense Emergency: A major hostile attack by aircraft or missiles seems probable, is imminent, or is taking place on the continental Lodamun, Likatonia, Valruzian Federation,Kalistan, Baltusia, Dolgaria, and Telamon. This declaration is made by the Commander of the Lodamese Aerospace Defense Command (LODRAD). This is a system for the general public, including the police. Upgraded or downgraded by the Internal Affairs Minister. The scale consists of five color-coded threat levels, which are intended to reflect the probability of a terrorist attack and its potential gravity. * Severe (red): severe risk * High (orange): high risk * Elevated (yellow): significant risk * Guarded (blue): general risk * Low (green): low risk |
