Weapons Free

A term used by NATO and U.S. military branches to denote the order that weapons may be fired at targets that are not positively identified as friendly. In other words, troops may fire at targets that are potential enemies but haven't been confirmed as enemies.

This is different than Weapons Tight, which means that weapons may only be fired at targets confirmed as hostile, and Weapons Hold, which means that weapons may only be fired at targets when under attack.

freedom weapons

Large, powerful weapons when used by the U.S. and other freedom-loving countries. When terrorists use them, they are called "Weapons of Mass Destruction," but when we use them, they are "Freedom Weapons" because we're bringing freedom to the people we use them against.
