That depends on the mission set up IIRC. Tactical, going into a hot strip and rolling into the line, they allow fueld and armed, though the ammo does not go hot until on the ground, which is the easiest to do. NON-tactical, minimal fuel, and ammo usually seperate. At least that was how it was thirty years ago... of course they run scared shitless these days, so they probably sent them into action with nothing by their grins.
