The United States and Bangladesh have completed the joint military exercise Tiger Shark, aimed at strengthening defense cooperation and building capacity between their armed forces. The exercise, held in Dhaka, included participation from both the United States Indo-Pacific Command and the Bangladesh Armed Forces.
Tiger Shark involved a series of integrated training activities such as medical training, patrolling, marksmanship, swimming and diving, and close quarters combat. These activities were designed to improve interoperability between the two militaries and support regional security efforts.
“This joint military exercise reaffirms our commitment to a safer, stronger and more prosperous Indo-Pacific. It also symbolizes the strong U.S.-Bangladesh partnership,” said U.S. Chargé d’Affaires Ambassador Tracey Jacobson.
The program also featured exchanges between subject matter experts, joint planning sessions, and simulation exercises. These engagements are intended to help both countries coordinate responses to future challenges in the Indo-Pacific region.
U.S. Indo-Pacific Command is responsible for overseeing American military operations across Asia-Pacific and works with partners to promote peace and stability in the region.
