THREAT CONDITIONS Military facilities

The Youngstown Air Reserve Station in Vienna Township, home of the 910th Airlift Wing, was put today on Delta threat condition, the highest condition in the military system. Most of the time, the base is on normal threat condition. As the concern and/or threat of safety increases, so does the threat condition, from Alpha to Bravo to Charlie to Delta. Being on Delta threat condition means:
Identify all vehicles within operational or mission-support areas.
Search all vehicles and their contents before allowing entrance to the installation.
Control access and implement positive identification of all personnel.
Issue weapons to guards.
Search all suitcases, briefcases, packages etc. brought into the installation.
Limit access points to an absolute minimum. Strictly enforce control of entry.
Make frequent checks of the exterior of buildings and of parking areas.
Minimize all administrative visits.
Consult local authorities about closing public and military roads and facilities that might make sites more vulnerable to attacks.
Examine mail.
Check all deliveries and advise dependents to check home deliveries.
Increase surveillance of domestic accommodations, schools, messes, clubs and other soft targets to improve deterrence and defense, and to build confidence among staff and dependents.
Move cars and objects at least 25 meters from buildings, particularly those of a sensitive or prestigious nature.
Consider centralized parking.
Keep all personnel responsible for implementing anti-terrorist plans at their places of duty.
