The Alert States system consists of six levels, derived from the agreements within NATO. Level A stands for a possible threat and D is highest when an attack is or has already been. The current A+ falls just above the lowest category and therefore means that the basic security is being tightened.
For barracks in Drenthe, such as those in Assen and Havelte, that means that additional safety measures can be visible to local residents and passers -by.
Anyone who cycles along the Johan Willem Frisokazerne in Assen will even see the A+level on a sign at the Hoofdpoort. For example, the Ministry of Defense makes it clear that the increased vigilance not only applies to the staff, but is also visible to passers -by.
