Rules of Engagement

There are three modes for response to contact visually - very much dependent on the enemy's alert level - and these are to ensure: 1) Units all have the right positions, 2) Maneuvers are prepared, 3) Units are following the correct stealth procedure, 4) Units engage simultaneously to maximize firepower, 5) Units have coordinated situational awareness.Weapons Free: Engage at will. This is essential in CQC and active combat zones - there's no time for the aforementioned communication and danger is expected.Weapons Loose: Engage at mutual contact. Engage when spotted and initiative must be acquired.Weapons Tight: Engage at danger. Engage when fired upon and danger is imminent.Weapons Hold: Engage at order. Engage when instructed from the commanding officer and disengage or conceal from any offensive actions.Units should respect vital information being transmitted and never disrupt it.
