Which call indicates completion of ordnance release?

• A. Engagement Complete
• B. Cleared Hot
• C. Cleared to Engage
• D. Continue Dry

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is recognizing which call marks the end of the firing portion of a mission. Engagement Complete is the signal that the firing sequence for that target is finished and no more ordnance will be released. It tells everyone involved that you’ve completed the engagement and can shift to debrief, reassess, or move to the next target. To understand why the other calls aren’t the right fit: Cleared Hot means you’re authorized to begin firing now, so it starts the engagement rather than ending it. Cleared to Engage indicates permission to engage but doesn’t specify that the current firing run is finished. Continue Dry means proceed with the mission without firing on that pass, so it also does not indicate completion of a firing sequence.
