Which description corresponds to the WCS state 'tight'?

• A. Less restrictive - engage only hostile
• B. Most restrictive - engage all threats
• C. Engage anything not identified as friendly
• D. Do nothing until commanded

Answer: (A)

WCS states control when you may engage targets based on identification and authorization. In the tight state, the engagement rules are strictly limited: you may fire only at targets that have been positively identified as hostile. In other words, engagements are restricted to confirmed hostiles and you avoid firing at anything not clearly hostile. That’s why the description “engage only hostile” best matches this state. The other descriptions describe different postures: engaging anything not identified as friendly describes a permissive, “free” posture; doing nothing until commanded describes a hold state; and “engage all threats” isn’t aligned with the restrictive nature of tight.
