What term denotes the graded alert system used for terrorist threats?

• A. Threat Level Indicator
• B. Force Protection Condition
• C. Security Posture
• D. Force Readiness Level

Answer: (A)

Graded alert levels that guide how to respond to terrorist threats are captured by the Threat Level Indicator. It communicates threat severity and triggers corresponding security actions, from routine precautions to heightened measures across units and installations. The other terms refer to related concepts but not the specific grading of threat levels: Force Protection Condition is a DoD protective posture with named levels from Normal to Delta; Security Posture is a broader term for overall security readiness; Force Readiness Level concerns mission readiness rather than threat indicators.
