I don't think GPS works like that. If the military uses the same satellite receiving technology that we civilians use, then the signal would be pretty hit or miss. It would be useless as soon as the kidnappers took the prisoners inside a cave, a building or even under a big enough tree.
However, the military often pioneers technology for purposes like this, so maybe they're already working on it.
