Bangla-US exercise begins Sept 19
Bangladesh-US joint training exercise named ''Tiger Shark-4'' will begin on September 19 and continue till September 26, taking place mostly in Chittagong and Sylhet.
Bangladesh Army, Navy and Air Force and other law enforcing agencies like Coast Guard, BGB and police (partly) will perform the exercise with US military forces, an ISPR release said yesterday.
According to the release, this exercise would enhance training cooperation and capacity building between Bangladesh and USA in the fight against terrorism.
About 500 personnel from Bangladesh and 350 from USA are to take part with a few aircrafts and Navy ships from both sides.
A Bangladeshi commodore and a US rear admiral will lead the respective troops.
To achieve objectives, a Bangladeshi major general has been appointed to give necessary directives.
The US personnel will be arriving in Bangladesh from September 15 by US helicopters and aircrafts.
For about two decades, such joint exercises have been taking place between the two armies.
