agree  grzes: I would go with elevated (rather than "higher") defense readiness
2 hrs
  -> Thank you, Grzes. I almost put that in. Another word could be "heightened." Each has a different nuance.
agree  mike23: Yes
12 hrs
  -> Dziękuję Michale.
neutral  LilianNekipelov: State of higher national defense preparedness
13 hrs
  -> Dziękuję Lilian. This is the phrase I hear quite often.
agree  George BuLah (X): indeed, "heightened" would sound ok ... ?
13 hrs
  -> Thank you, George. It would be perfect. The context of the question would help choose the word. Usually, heighthened is something temporary in a crisis situation.
