Which instruction covers Force Protection Conditions (FPCON)?

The instruction that covers Force Protection Conditions (FPCON) is DODI 2000.16. This directive outlines the policies and procedures for implementing and maintaining force protection measures throughout the Department of Defense. FPCON is a system used to indicate the level of threat to U.S. military personnel and assets, allowing appropriate protective measures to be taken based on the assessed threat level.

While other directives may address different aspects of security and protection, DODI 2000.16 specifically focuses on the establishment and implementation of FPCON measures. By providing a structured approach and guidance on how to assess threat levels and respond accordingly, it plays a critical role in ensuring the safety and security of military personnel and operations.
