Declare

A radio brevity code used to inquire about the ID of a track, target, or group. Responses include:

Friendly: a positively identified friendly surface position, ship, aircraft, or spacecraft.

Bogey: a contact whose identity unknown.

Bandit: a contact that has been positively identified as an enemy in accordance with theatre ID data. Does not imply the unit or element requesting the declare has been directed or has the authority to engage.

Hostile: a contact that has been positively identified as an enemy. The difference between "hostile" and "bandit" is that with "hostile," the unit or element requesting the declare has permission to fire on the hostile in accordance with theatre rules of engagement. A "bandit" is a target where permission has not been granted.

Neutral: a positively identified ground position, ship, or aircraft whose behavior, origin, characteristics, or nationality indicate that it is neither supporting nor apposing friendly forces.

Unable: the unit or element from which the declare has been requested cannot comply as requested or directed.

Clean: no information is available about the track, target, or group of interest.

Furball: non-friendly and friendly aircraft are within five nautical miles of each other.

All responses to a declare request are given in bullseye format: the bullseye is an established reference point from position is referenced by magnetic bearing and range in nautical miles.

Declare a moratorium

When a fad or affectation has outlived its coolness, one can declare a moratorium on it. It's a polite way to express one's rage at seeing something silly continue in perpetuity.
1. White chicks with dreadlocks; I'm declaring a moratorium on that.
2. I'm declaring a moratorium on the faux-hawk. It's been co-opted by too many frat boys.
3. I believe it's time to declare a moratorium on the fart app for iPhone.
