Several United States military bases across Europe were put on a heightened state of alert over the weekend. According to news reports, this was due to concerns that a potential terrorist attack could target U.S. personnel or facilities.

According to CNN who spoke to a U.S. official on Sunday, who is stationed at a base in Europe, the military hasn’t seen this threat level (Charlie level alert) “in at least 10 years.” The official added that it usually means the military has received an “active-reliable threat.”

According to the U.S. Army, the Charlie level of alert “applies when an incident occurs or intelligence is received indicating some form of terrorist action or targeting against personnel or facilities is likely.”
