What FPCON level indicates a routine security posture due to a general global threat of possible terrorist activity?

The correct response refers to FPCON Normal, which represents a baseline security posture that does not involve any heightened or specific threat concerns. At this level, security forces maintain a routine approach due to the overall understanding of a general global threat of possible terrorist activity. This level reflects a status where there are no significant indicators that necessitate increased protective measures, allowing for normal operations while remaining aware of potential risks.

FPCON Normal is the foundation upon which the other heightened states of readiness—FPCON Alpha, Bravo, and others—exist. These heightened FPCON levels are activated in response to more pressing or immediate threats, which distinguishes them from the Normal level where the threat is generalized and not specific.
