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. 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. 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 |

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? [link to news.yahoo.com] Looks like America is spreading the legs for Russians... This is good way to prevent cuts |

NATO is ready to f...k hard the invading Russians... Thread: German defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen aims to purge Bundeswehr by sexual abuse charges 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.

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. every time Kerry shows up I get the urged to watch the old 1960' classic "The Munster's" with eddy, and grandpa and Lilly and of Herman. and there cool 1932 Coffin Hot Rod :) and the fire breathing dragon under the stairs Called "Spot" |

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 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.. I dare say they will most likely be arguing over what drapes should be hung in Kiev's Rada |
