"Action stations" = vị trí chiến đấu, vị trí các binh sĩ phải đến khi cuộc chiến đấu bắt đầu. Cụm từ sử dụng như một mệnh lệnh hô hào mọi người sẵn sàng hành động.

Ví dụ
With the Imperial troops (quân đội Hoàng gia) on their case as well, it’s action stations for the gang, as the pair team up with an ex-soldier (cựu chiến binh) to protect a village from raiders (kẻ đột kích).

That evening, just as Graf Spee and Altmark were swapping (tráo đổi) stores, lookouts (trạm gác) spotted the funnels (ống khói) of the British heavy cruiser (tàu tuần dương hạng nặng) Cumberland. The Germans went to action stations, but Cumberland zigzagged (chạy ngoằn ngoèo) and never saw them.

As events unfolded during the week, Eunice says they changed their venue (địa điểm) from The Charthouse at Sulphur Point, to the amphitheatre (đài vòng) at Te Puna Quarry. The 120 guests could have stood four metres apart at the new venue. Then, on Monday, the Government announced (thông báo) the complete lock-down so it was action stations again and the new house was now the new venue (địa điểm).
