Alert Carry is the weapon pointed downward, the downward carry is similar if not also known as the Low Ready. It is the modern form of carry today as people would rather risk an Accidental Discharge (AD) on their foot vs. their head or someone elses. I was thought it easy to remember as "alert to the dirt". Carry vs. Ready: Carry means just that, and Ready means just that as well, when a weapon is pointed at a target it is known as (sometimes High) Ready.

The opposite of Alert Carry is the Tactical Carry. The Tactical carry is the older and lesser used today by the military as it points the muzzle to the sky diagonally across your body.

What are the 6 steps for the ready carry for the m16?

I'd be inclined to think that you've either mistaken a ready position for something else, or else have fallen into a snipe hunt. The ready position is a tactical carry position - there are no steps to it, as it is not part of drill, and there's a few different ready positions, the most common being a ready carry for patrol, then you have your high and low ready positions for high alert situations.
