Over the weekend, U.S. military bases in Europe escalated to high alert, urging vigilance among their members.
The U.S. European Command headquarters in Stuttgart announced on Sunday that the army garrison has increased the force protection threat level to “Charlie” indefinitely.
Other bases in Germany, such as the Rhineland-Palatinate and Ramstein Air Bases, which constitute the largest overseas U.S. military community, have issued similar alerts. This includes the Rhineland-Palatinate garrison, Baumholder, and outposts in Romania and Bulgaria. Additionally, Aviano Air Base in Italy has moved to “Charlie,” with other Italian facilities also implementing heightened security measures.
The military designates force protection levels as Normal, Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, or Delta, with Delta being the highest alert state. While Bravo has been a standard level on bases for years following the 9/11 attacks, the implementation of Charlie level is a more recent development.
The “Charlie” threat level is activated when an incident occurs or intelligence is received, indicating a high likelihood of a terrorist act or attack on personnel or facilities. Warnings suggest that military personnel and others may face significant delays at checkpoints due to heightened security measures.
Typically, military commands refrain from disclosing specifics about changes in force protection measures for security reasons. However, Spangdahlem Air Base in rural western Germany recently issued a warning. It stated that pilots from the 52nd Fighter Wing are required to avoid wearing uniforms off-base as a precautionary measure and must commute in civilian attire.
“We are preparing for all conceivable dangers, from Islamic terrorism to violent criminals and hooligans,” German Interior Minister Nancy Faser said.
France is also bracing for the possibility of a potential terrorist attack at the Olympics, which begin in just under a month.
Paris has raised its national security alert system to its highest level since March, according to the U.S. Embassy in France.
“French authorities actively monitor terrorist threats from organized groups and radicalized individuals,” the U.S. Embassy said. “Attacks,” it warned, “can occur with little or no warning and target tourist sites, important sporting and cultural events, and other public spaces that attract large numbers of civilians.”
Middle East is ready to explode
Outside observers can only speculate about the nature of the warnings received by US intelligence.
One might surmise that it relates to the Middle East, where the disbandment of Hezbollah could commence imminently. Another potential threat could be the military maneuvers of Russia in the region, which openly display hostile intentions and issue threats indiscriminately.
Usually, US intelligence is rarely wrong in its forecasts, so some kind of terrorist attack or sabotage is more likely to happen than not.
It is worth noting that multiple remote viewing groups have simultaneously predicted significant events for July, with a culmination expected mid-month.
It cannot be discounted that the world may be entering another period of perilous transformation, and after a brief pause, we may once again encounter turbulence.
