If there's a Blue Force Tracker, shouldn't there be a Blue Falcon Tracker?

I think this would make life easier for a lot of us if we knew where the Blue Falcons are. Just wondering. LOL!

Now that is a great suggestion...lol!!! Blue Falcons and Backstabbers are everywhere. It would be nice if they had to wear a bell or something... ;)

There is a Blue Falcon tracking system. It's called HQDA.

A Blue Falcon tracker is definitely needed. It'd be nice if a little icon appeared on the Blue Force Tracker, especially in theater so you know when you're approaching a Blue Falcon from another unit!

Is this an Army thing? I've never heard of the blue falcons? Are they a fraternity?

I came across the term during my short but interesting time among the Army. In the Navy, I've always heard it called being a "Bilger", as in having, "bilged out a shipmate".
