What does Weapons Tight mean?

• A. Clear to Engage positively identified hostile targets
• B. Engage any potential target
• C. Hold fire until commanded
• D. Engage only in self-defense

Answer: (A)

Weapons Tight means you engage only targets that have been positively identified as hostile. The idea is to prevent friendly fire by requiring positive identification before firing, so you don’t shoot at anything unless there’s clear hostile validation. If there’s no positive ID, you hold fire. This differs from engaging any potential target (that would be a more permissive Weapons Free mode), and from holding fire until commanded or only acting in self-defense without positive identification.
