Threat Condition Bravo

National Security Alert Levels and White House Crisis Posture

Description

President Bartlet orders Threat Condition Bravo as a heightened security alert after five Bahji sleepers vanish and chatter spikes. This posture demands increased security and visibility for the weekend. C.J. declares it to Danny and Leo in the copier room, framing the meeting's urgency and justifying a three-day delay on publication. Bartlet reveals it in the Oval Office to Leo and Toby amid confession of Shareef's assassination, pivoting staff from personal matters to national crisis response.
