Location Tracking the Army Doesn’t Like

A new Defense Department policy bans the use of geolocating features on government and personal devices in operational areas.

While some details will be determined by local commanders, the policy announced Aug. 3 has potentially wide implications, involving phones, fitness trackers and other computer applications that track location, store the information and can potentially be shared with others.

A Pentagon spokesman said the aim of the new policy is “making sure that we are not giving the enemy an unfair advantage, and we are not showcasing the exact locations of our troops worldwide.”
