English term or phrase: Blue Force (as in Blue Force Tracking (BFT))

O termo "Blue Force" me parece, pelo contexto que tenho aqui (que não posso divulgar, snif), algo como "Forças Amigas", em contraponto com Forças Inimigas. Alguém já ouviu falar disso?

Explanation:
Moltke originated the use of the colors blue for friendly forces and red for hostile forces in strategy or wargaming. Hence the term blue on blue fire in friendly fire situations.
Foi com Moltke que se originou o use das cores azul para forças amigas e vermelho para as forças hostis.
http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmuth_von_Moltke

In NATO military symbology, the color blue is typically used to denote friendly forces.
