Despite the 'cute' answers given, it's a bastardized tactical call made by either GCI/AWACS and/or the flight lead for the fighters to 'bracket' or flank the target aircraft while maintaining 15,000 ft.*

And JAG's main character is going to be the standard soon - use of force issues are always second-guessed by the lawyers behind the lines, so soon we all will law school grads!
