US, Bangladesh conclude ‘Tiger Shark’ bilateral military exercise
The United States and Bangladesh have concluded Tiger Shark, a bilateral military exercise aimed at strengthening regional security and cooperation between their armed forces.
Under the framework of defence collaboration, Tiger Shark reflects both countries' enduring commitment to Indo-Pacific peace, stability, and security. The exercise involved personnel from the United States Indo-Pacific Command and the Bangladesh Armed Forces in integrated training activities, including medical preparedness, 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, and symbolises the strong US-Bangladesh partnership," said US Chargé d'Affaires Ambassador Tracey Jacobson.
In addition to tactical training, Tiger Shark featured subject-matter expert exchanges, joint planning sessions, and simulation-based drills. As a result, both forces improved coordination for future security responses, enhanced medical readiness, and sharpened technical skills in key operational areas.
