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.

A "bandit" is a target where permission has not been granted.

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.
