Defense readiness conditions (DEFCONs) describe progressive alert postures
primarily for use between the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the commanders of
unified commands. DEFCONs are graduated to match situations of varying
military severity, and are numbered 5,4,3,2, and 1 as appropriate. DEFCONs
are phased increases in combat readiness. In general terms, these are
descriptions of DEFCONs:
DEFCON 5 Normal peacetime readiness
DEFCON 4 Normal, increased intelligence and strengthened security measures
DEFCON 3 Increase in force readiness above normal readiness
DEFCON 2 Further Increase in force readiness, but less than maximum
DEFCON 1 Maximum force readiness.
