What is the common term used to notify when a FRIENDLY asset is in immediate danger?

The common term used to notify that a FRIENDLY asset is in immediate danger is "scram." This term is typically employed in military and operational contexts to indicate an urgent need for personnel or equipment to evacuate or withdraw quickly from a hazardous situation to ensure their safety.

"Scram" conveys a sense of immediacy, prompting a rapid response to avert danger, whether through movement to a safer location or disengagement from a threatening environment. This makes it particularly effective in situations where time is of the essence, as it helps to swiftly alert those involved to take immediate action.

The other terms mentioned do not carry the same connotation or urgency specific to the context of protecting friendly assets. For instance, "abort" generally refers to stopping a planned operation or mission, while "AWOL" indicates absence without leave, and "retrograde" refers to a tactical movement backwards or withdrawal, which does not inherently imply immediate danger.
