The document defines terrorism and outlines the various ways individuals may be victimized, including by association or circumstance. The pamphlet also provides guidance on reporting suspicious activities to the 87th Security Forces and details the Force Protection Conditions (FPCON), which designate security measures ranging from normal to delta levels based on the threat landscape. Each FPCON level prescribes specific protective measures and responses, ensuring readiness for possible attacks.
