Declare by anonymous 2323 April 19, 2010
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.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
