Maritime Security Condition System (MARSEC)
Maritime Security Condition System (MARSEC) : "MARSEC is a three-tiered system developed by the Coast Guard to communicate the prevailing threat environment to the marine elements of the national transportation system, including ports, facilities, and critical assets and infrastructure. The levels align closely with DHS's color-coded Homeland Security Alert System in the following way: MARSEC 1 applies when threat conditions Green, Blue, or Yellow are set; MARSEC 2 applies when threat condition Orange is set; and MARSEC 3 applies when threat condition Red is set".
