A Schofield Barracks official said the post security threat level had not been increased due to the shootings today at Fort Hood.

�No, it has not changed,� said Rebecca Ellison, an Army spokeswoman at Schofield. �Our security is pretty tight anyway, and so they are pretty vigilant at our gates.�
U.S. Pacific Command at Camp Smith, which sets the minimum �force protection� condition levels for Hawaii and the Asia and Pacific theater, said the threat level remains at �Alpha� � near the low end on a scale that includes �Normal, �Alpha,� �Bravo,� �Charlie� and �Delta.�
�Normal� applies when there is no credible threat of terrorist activity, and requires only a routine security posture.
�Alpha� applies when there is a �general threat� possible against personnel and/or installations � the nature and extent of which is unpredictable.
Most military installations in Hawaii have been at force protection level Alpha for many months.
�No change has been made,� said Navy Lt. Cmdr. Chuck Bell, a spokesman for U.S. Pacific Command. �We�re always paying attention to what�s going on throughout the (region). I can�t predict whether or not anything would change.�
Following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the Pentagon ordered military bases nationwide to the highest terrorist threat security alert, Delta, a level of caution not seen in the Pacific since the 1990 Gulf War.
Hawaii Air National Guard F-15 fighters escorted inbound commercial flights and Navy ships were ordered out of Pearl Harbor in response to the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center and Pentagon.
