altogether now
>Black
normal state of alertnes
>Black Alpha
slightly enhanced state of alert
>Amber
expected attack or security threat, non-specific as to target (e.g.
intelligence reveals to expect "an RAF station in Germany" to be bombed
= all RAF stations go to amber, guards issued live ammunition). e.g.
when Bobby Sands' death was announced, all UK military establishments
went immediately to amber.
>Red (I once spent an uncomfortable half hour at this alert state)
imminent attack expected against this unit, or attack has already
occurred at this unit or a nearby one e.g. when Joint HQ was bombed in
the 70s, nearby RAF stations went to either amber or red.
