Which alert level requires aircrew in flight gear and standing by?

Alert levels describe how ready aircrews and equipment are to respond. Being in flight gear and standing by signals that the crew is dressed and prepared to react immediately, but not yet in the aircraft or armed for immediate launch. This state is used to minimize delay while keeping the response controlled and within reach, so it fits a level that requires quick recall without full launch posture. The other levels typically imply either less immediate readiness (crews not in gear or not on standby) or the highest degree of readiness where aircraft and weapons are fully configured for immediate launch, which is beyond simply having the crew in flight gear and standing by.
