It gained popularity during Gulf War I.
It's a military pilots term that originally meant that an aircraft had passed its preflight check and was "good to go".
According to my favorite etymology dictionary, it is first attested in 1989.
Since the first Persian Gulf War in 1990 was primarily an air war, the phrase was heard and repeated by the media a lot. It entered common slang shortly afterward.
The phrase indicates that all is prepared, finished, and ready to proceed to what is next.
Also: Ready for action
