Yes, you have to pick up the dog tags that your killed enemies drop in order to earn your "support bonuses"/ killstreaks. They are awarded at 3, 5 & 7 dog tags. You have to pick up all 3, 5 or 7 of them in the same life to get the support bonus.
If you die, the dog tags will stay on the battelfield for a bit so you still have a chance to collect them but the counter will start back at 0 with each life.
There is a power module called "Retriever" that will automatically pick them up, but you have to earn that after you level up some.
