This is the third installment of the “5 Levels of Alertness” as written by Boston T. Party in his book Boston’s Gun Bible

Orange – Heightened Yellow.
You now have a specific potential problem. Ask yourself “What is my objective? What are my alternatives?â€
If you are with somebody, immediately get their attention. Generally, your partner should then move to cover so that you both form a wide “Y†with your bad guy at the base. If you partner is not armed, then get him/her to cover.
Forewarned is forearmed, and the sooner you go to Orange on some creep, the better. See your threat before he sees his opportunity. Since reaction time .25 seconds for most people (.20 if you’re really quick), you are already behind the curve once he goes for his weapon or begins to rush you.
