Who here thinks that the US is at defcon 4? I do
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45246126


Probably closer to level 2
 Quoting: Canuck_Hillbilly



Maybe more like Defcon 3?

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 and announced by the United States Secretary 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 American forces change to currently classified call signs.
DEFCON 2
This refers to a further increase in force readiness just below maximum readiness.
The most notable time it was declared was during the Cuban Missile Crisis, although the declaration was limited to Strategic Air Command.
It is not certain how many times this level of readiness has been reached.
DEFCON 1
This refers to maximum readiness. It is not certain whether this has ever been used, but it is reserved for imminent or ongoing attack on
US military forces or US territory by a foreign military power.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9026959


The US military doesn't even use a DEFCON system anymore. It all Conditions now. They were at Condition Bravo for some time after 9/11.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 54419056



You're confusing Defense Conditions with Force Protection Postures. Alpha Bravo Charlie and Delta are force protection conditions that deal with US installation access procedures.
DEFCONS deal with the posture or readiness of forces or the current wartime conditions

Russia to expand its worldwide military presence

[link to news.yahoo.com]


Fresh off the press, about 15 mins ago
 Quoting: Wrath O' Luna


The military was conducting talks with Algeria, Cyprus, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Cuba, Seychelles, Vietnam and Singapore.
He said that it was essential for the Russian navy to be able to call at their ports to service its ships.
Shoigu said Russia was also talking to some of those countries asking them to allow long-range bombers to use their air bases for refueling.

Tom 15 minutes ago
Interesting that this comes on Hagel's call to reduce the US military to pre WWII levels.
Is Russia reacting or is this choreographed?

Thread: German defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen aims to purge Bundeswehr by sexual abuse charges
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 53973287


A U.S. Army colonel who wrote an email suggesting attractive women should not be portrayed in U.S. Army promotional materials stepped down from her job Friday.
Col. Lynette Arnhart recently sent an email arguing that an attractive woman shown in a photo in an Army magazine sent the wrong signal. Arnhart argued that unattractive women are perceived as competent while attractive women are perceived as having used their looks to get ahead.
She went on to argue that the Army should use "more average looking women" or women who are willing to do the dirty work. Arnhart said that photos of attractive women in uniform lead people to ask if breaking a nail is considered hazardous duty.
Until she stepped down, Arnhart was in charge of the Army research project examining women's transition into combat roles.
"In order to protect the integrity of the ongoing work on gender integration in the Army, Col. Lynette Arnhart agreed to step down as the gender integration study director," an Army spokesperson said tonight.

Regarding DEFCONs, IIRC the most US forces are by default at 4, except in Korea where they default to 3. There were rumours that the US forces in Korea went to 2 for a while after the island shelling in 2010. My completely amateur guess is that some forces in Europe might be at 3 now.

US Warns Russia on Ukraine, Nudges Georgia to West What we need now to do is not get into an old, Cold War confrontation

The United States on Wednesday warned Russia against a military intervention in Ukraine as it renewed demands that Moscow withdraw troops from disputed enclaves in another former Soviet republic, Georgia. The U.S. also urged Georgia to further integrate with Europe and NATO in calls that come amid growing tensions between Russia and the West over the ouster of Ukraine's pro-Moscow president.

Six months ago we were all convinced that a strike on Syria was in the works.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 54862976


The strike was ready to go - then ol' horse-face Kerry put his foot in his mouth and gave the Russian's an easy way to make the US look stupid. Hopefully they'll keep his dumb ass away from a mic this time around.

I think we need to start to think of the bigger picture here. We need to know if their are any western military movement specifically German, UK and USA regarding Russia. Can anyone find out?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45246126


don't know about specific movements seems to be quite quiet on the UK front they usually drum up with Rhetoric Cameron hasn't even said much if anything at all same with Putin Obama on the other hand has, we in Europe know that this is more than just a case of toe to toe and sipping champagne at the end Europe will be desolated and our continent will be in a 3rd world state for generations to come, the US mainland if at all hit will be Nuked...

It was said on skynews the other day that there has been talk amongst military officials in regards to committing UK forces in Europe for the 1st time after WW2, note the language used we have obviously had forces in Europe since WW2 so what was meant by committing UK forces, As for French forces the was more talk of CAR...

Not specific I know sorry buddy hf
 Quoting: Anderson_G


Angela Merkel will be in the UK tomorrow for tiffin with Cameron, then tea and biccies with Queenie... I know it will be smothered in EU rethoric as was Camerons chat and Brize Norton with Hollande, Cameron and Hollande still deepened Anglo-French military agreements, and I am sure Cameron and Merkel will be chatting about Ukraine..
