AmRRON Declares AmCON 3

From AmRRON:

US / Iranian Conflict

Update 20260219-1900Z

Raising to AmCON 3 (Incident Probable)

Due to the following:  deteriorating negotiations between the United States and Iran; the surge in the past 48 hours of “final stage” US military assets into the Middle East; vacating US personnel from bases in Syria; the “Fatwa” issued last summer by Iranian clerics in the Summer of 2025 calling Muslims around the world to rise up if Iran is attacked; the numerous reports of Iranians who have infiltrated the US southern border in recent years and the warnings of “sleeper cells” in the United States, AmRRON is raising the AmCON one level, to Level 3 (Incident Probable).

AmRRON Special Guidance and Instructions:

AmRRON will remain at AmCON 3 until further notice, and we will continuously be monitoring the situation.  Additional changes to the AmCON level, and any special instructions  or guidance, will be posted here, as well as through the AmRRON member Telegram Channel, the AmRRON Corps Z-Net, and the AmRRON Mobile Team App.

  • Inspections and functions checks on communications equipment, backup power supply systems, and all supporting equipment, etc.
  • Replace batteries or charge all batteries, top off fuel supplies
  • Avoid unnecessary travel

In the event of grid down:

  • Check local radio and television news sources for additional information
  • If local news is offline, tune to local scanner and VHF/UHF (ham) repeaters to ascertain any additional information
  • Tune in to the AmRRON digital HF Persistent Presence Net and monitor while you are producing your initial STATREP
  • Submit your STATREP over HF via Commstat (preferrably), or by FLMSG, or plain text, at your earliest opportunity
