From July 2020 to July 2021, Chief Warrant Officer Bantock was deployed to Egypt to assume the role of Multinational Force and Observers sergeant major. As key advisor and confidante to the force commander, he provided tactical, operational and strategic counsel. Moreover, he promoted co-operation and harmony throughout the Force, and served as a role model, particularly in the aftermath of the fatal crash of a Force helicopter. Chief Warrant Officer Bantock’s professionalism brought great credit to Canada.
