Yes this is kind of war related question but on different level. If we go to war dose defcom changes. If so what is our current defcom level?

1-5 I believe, and 5 is the lowest.

1-5 is correct, with 1 = WWIII.

 

[Evadman]

1 through 5. war = 2. Defcon 1 = were all dead in a few minutes, so it doesn't matter.

Why? The question has been answered twice already.
From here

DEFCON Defense Readiness Condition The stage of alert for U.S. military forces, ranges from 5 (peacetime) to 1 (global thermonuclear war):

5 (exercise term FADE OUT): Normal peacetime situation exists
4 (exercise term DOUBLE TAKE): Increased intelligence watch and strengthened security measures
3 (exercise ROUND HOUSE): An increase in force readiness above normal readiness
2 (exercise FAST PACE): A further increase in force readiness but less than maximum readiness
1 (exercise COCKED PISTOL): Maximum force readiness {CBTS}
