Blue Force Tracker

We aggregate, report and analyze stories related to the U.S. military and national defense.

Mission

"America doesn't know its military and the United States military doesn't know America” -- Adm. Mike Mullen, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Let’s fix that.

Let’s give the American people a tool to know where their men and women are serving, and what they are doing — 24/7.

In the military there is a tool called “blue force tracking,” which depicts with icons on a satellite image of the battle-space where every U.S. military unit is positioned. This gives war-fighters a visual depiction of the battle-space that greatly enhances their situational awareness of where all friendly units are located.

We want to give the American people something similar. We want to give them unfiltered situational awareness of where our military is deployed around the world and what they are doing.

We are a news aggregation tool, compiling news updates related to U.S. military operations worldwide. We look for the stories that most outlets either ignore or don't work hard enough to find.
