AI Summary
The Dover Air Force Base Antiterrorism Office has issued a pamphlet, "Antiterrorism Awareness for Contractors," to integrate contractors into the Global War on Terrorism efforts. Contractors are considered "Force Multipliers" and are expected to report suspicious activities to maintain security vigilance. The pamphlet defines terrorism and outlines various types of potential victims (by association, location, or opportunity). It details what constitutes suspicious activity, including surveillance, elicitation, tests of security, acquiring supplies, suspicious persons out of place, dry runs, deploying assets, and terrorism financing. Contractors are instructed to report such activities to the 436th Security Forces Squadron at (302) 677-6666, providing their name, company, accurate location, and a callback number, and to remain on-site until contacted. The document also explains Force Protection Conditions (FPCON) ranging from Normal to Delta, with examples of protective measures such as vehicle inspections, gate guards, and ID checks. FPCON Normal indicates a routine security posture with a general global threat, while FPCON Alpha suggests a general threat of unpredictable terrorist activity, leading to random vehicle checks and increased crime prevention efforts.
