Those are two different condition indicators, Ponch.

The DEFCON level is the Defense Readiness Condition.

There are other Condition levels such as THREATCON and INFOCON.

We are currently at DEFCON 3 and INFOCON 5.

You're real cool.

It's not that hard people, doesn't anyone know how to use Google? Very first hit:

Or DEFCON

DEFCON is for civilian, FPCON is for military. That's why I said FPCON, I was mistaken.
