US and BD Strengthen Defense Partnership Thru Joint Exercise ‘Tiger Shark’
Dhaka, Bangladesh — August 2: The United States and Bangladesh have concluded Tiger Shark, a bilateral military exercise designed to enhance regional security cooperation, improve interoperability, and build mutual capacity between the armed forces of both nations.
Tiger Shark reflects the enduring commitment of the United States and Bangladesh to promote peace, stability, and security in the Indo-Pacific region. The exercise brings together personnel from the United States Indo-Pacific Command and the Bangladesh Armed Forces, engaging in a range of integrated training activities including medical training, patrolling, marksmanship, swimming and diving, and close quarters combat.
“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.
In addition to tactical training, Tiger Shark features subject matter expert exchanges, joint planning sessions, and simulation exercises. These engagements help facilitate a coordinated approach to future regional challenges in the Indo-Pacific.
