Used for training only clearance to attack (simulated release)?

• A. Cleared Hot
• B. Continue dry
• C. Cleared to engage
• D. No

Answer: (B)

In training scenarios, crews need to practice the attack sequence without releasing weapons, so the clearance terminology differentiates between real and simulated actions. The phrase that means continue with the attack plan but without firing is the one that indicates a dry load—no live ordnance or simulated release is allowed. This lets crews rehearse target designation, timing, and callouts safely while keeping weapons unloaded. The other options would authorize firing or engagement in a way that isn’t explicitly limited to training with simulated releases, so they aren’t the right fit here.
