Nomenclature varies between the services, but the basic conditions are:
Rack safe: rifle is unloaded and cleared, no magazine, the selector is on SEMI and the trigger has been pulled
Carry safe, no mag (for transport): Rifle is unloaded and cleared, no magazine, selector is on SAFE
Carry safe, with mag (normal readiness): Rifle is loaded with mag inserted but no cartridge chambered, selector on SAFE
Combat ready: Rifle is loaded with mag inserted and cartridge chambered, selector on SAFE (this is usually only done when hostilities are imminent)
And then there is "Firing": Rifle is loaded with mag inserted and cartridge chambered and selector on SEMI or AUTO (or BURST)
