All posts and patrols will increase vigilance in anticipation of potentially hostile activities and begin to review FPCON procedures. The BDOC will brief all posts and patrols in the AO to do the following:

• ESRTs will direct line or landline and contact BDOC for instructions
• ISRTs will remain mobile inside their area and conduct foot patrols
• Police Units will remain mobile and will contact BDOC every 10 minutes until the threat has been neutralized
• Stationary posts will only use landline to contact BDOC
