Cantor said he is in charge of 2,000 troops from 10 nations. His mission is to teach emergency management, disaster response and counter-terror operations to the allied nations’ military forces.
The deployment comes as Cantor is in the midst of a campaign for the office of Monmouth County sheriff. He is the Democratic candidate running against incumbent Republican Sheriff Shaun Golden in the Nov. 8 election.
“When the country calls, I drop everything to fulfill our nation’s request,” Cantor said. “I am proud to do so.”
