The current alert, known as the National Threat Advisory System, has never been used because it requires a credible threat. As such, the new system will be augmented to include more realistic warnings about what the government is seeing and what the public should do. “I believe in this environment we need to get beyond that and go to new system that has an intermediate level to it,” Johnson said at a Defense One Live event. ## More - [Iran’s New Fighter Is An Omen Of Things To Come]() - [No, The Nuclear Bombers Aren’t Going Back On 24-Hour Alert — Yet]() - [Innovation In The Army, Part II: Innovation As A Military System]() - [CENTCOM corrects British general: US forces in Iraq and Syria on heightened alert for Iranian attacks]() - [Navy vet helps create system to alert crew if sailor goes overboard and testing is underway]() - [A new Pentagon report on sexual assault in the military is a wakeup call to a ‘systemic’ problem]() - [US Missile Defense Test Fails, Showing It’s Still Hard To Hit A Bullet With A Bullet]() - [US looks to West Africa as new hub for counter-terrorism mission after leaving Niger, Chad]()
