  • Watch for targets and open fire if a target is seen
  • Wait and see
  • Observe and react accordingly

The term is now mostly reserved for use on the range, while in operational environments the command/firing status of "weapons free" or "weapons tight" (adoped originally from US air defence) is in more common usage - but this varies with the country/forces in question.

NATO was exploring the possibility of using the same terminology for ALL weapons systems - so as to provide consistent command and control with respect to the use of force.
