What are the 3 Weapon control measures?

• A. Weapons hold, Weapons safe, Weapons free
• B. Weapons hold, Weapons tight, Weapons free
• C. Weapons hold, Weapons loose, Weapons free
• D. Weapons hold, Weapons tight, Weapons ready

Answer: (B)

The question tests how crew members control firing authority using standard weapon control statuses. Weapons hold means no firing is allowed; the weapon is safed and you wait for explicit authorization or a change in ROE. Weapons tight is more restrictive: firing is allowed only on a designated target under specific cues or orders, requiring positive identification and adherence to ROE. Weapons free is the least restrictive: you may engage targets that pose a threat without waiting for further authorization, as long as you do not engage protected personnel or entities and remain within ROE. This combination—hold, tight, and free—is the established sequence of weapon control measures, which is why it is the correct answer. The other options use nonstandard terms such as loose or ready, which do not represent the recognized weapon control statuses.
