A joint exercise, ‘Guardian Shark,’ involving the US military and the Bangladesh Coast Guard, has commenced in Chattogram. The exercise will continue until November 25. During this period, personnel from both nations will undergo joint training in conducting rescue operations in swift-flowing waters and providing emergency medical care.
The primary objective of this exercise is to enhance the capacity to carry out rapid and effective rescue operations during natural disasters, such as floods and cyclones. Specifically, the training aims to improve the participants’ skills and preparedness in reaching those in distress during disasters, executing rescue missions, and ensuring the delivery of emergency medical assistance.
It is expected that this exercise will further strengthen mutual cooperation, the exchange of experience, and the collective ability of the US military and the Bangladesh Coast Guard to respond to disasters.
