The FPCON reference is found in which document?

• A. DoDI 2000.16, pg.39; AT plan/guardmount binder
• B. DoD Manual 5015
• C. NIST Security Standard
• D. AFI 10-247

Answer: (A)

FPCON references come from the DoD’s Antiterrorism/Force Protection program. The official source is DoD Instruction 2000.16, which governs the AT program and directs that Force Protection Condition information and related procedures be captured in the installation’s Antiterrorism/Force Protection plan and guardmount binder. That binder, maintained at each site, is where you would find the FPCON references and how they’re applied locally. The other documents listed don’t carry the standard, DoD-wide FPCON references in the same way: a DoD manual 5015 item isn’t the source for FPCON details, NIST standards are civilian security guidelines, and an Air Force-specific instruction addresses its own procedures rather than the overarching DoD AT framework.
