разоружение
"Если обе стороны приведут свои вооружённые силы в соостояние боевой готовности, то может вспыхнуть война."
Слова Н.С. Хрущёва во время беседы с Дж. Неру 6 сентября 1961 г.
Разговор идёт о том, что переговоры о всеобщем ядерном разоружении зашли в тупик и что на Кеннеди давят внутри США, чтобы он занял более жёсткую позицию в отношении СССР.
Варианты переводов в Мультитране видела. Нужны более "английские" варианты. Спасибо.

Please check NATO terminology and other military terms, it is the most correct one. I am not sure if all native speakers know military terms.

For ex: If the armed forces of both sides have been placed on a state of alert, a war could break out. or it will lead to war breakout.
Combat readiness: youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KlpPiM73Ys
Other variant: Organization for combat would lead to war breakout.
If both sides brings armed forces to combat readiness, a war could break out.

organisation for combat https://books.google.kg/books?id=SahRAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA311&lpg=P...
What do you all think? I am surprised no one is suggesting it. Is it really that wrong?
