The US military personal took part in a two-week long
training exercise with their Bangladesh counterparts to strengthen its defense
readiness and build operational interoperability.
Members of the 5th Security Force Assistance Brigade (5th
SFAB) out of Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, the Oregon Army National
Guard along with two members from the 303rd Ordnance Battalion (EOD), based at
Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, attended the drill from March 19 to 31, a US
embassy press release said here.
The bilateral exercise named "Tiger Lightning 2022
(TL22)" was sponsored by US Indo-Pacific Command and hosted by the
Bangladesh Armed Forces that reinforced partnership between the Bangladesh
Armed Forces and Oregon State National Guard.
Approximately 36 US personnel participated in this field
training exercise (FTX) focusing on combined operations training and regional
crisis response capabilities.
The Oregon National Guard assisted with key subject matter experts,
focusing on the "E," in the area of explosive ordnance disposal (EOD)
& counter improvised explosive device (C-IED) training.
"What I am seeing from this is that people are exchanging
experiences," said Oregon Army National Guard Lt. Col. Demain San Miguel,
lead planner for the exercise, on the occasion.
"The people know their equipment, they know the
capabilities, but they're sharing their experiences from Mali, Iraq, and
Afghanistan, on how the equipment worked and didn't work, as well as how you
can use the equipment together," he added.
