U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter said Tuesday the U.S. will position about 250 tanks and other equipment in eastern and central Europe. The move is meant to reassure NATO allies after threats from Russia and terrorist groups.

Mr. Carter said the Baltic states Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia as well as Bulgaria, Romania and Poland agreed to store some of the military equipment. Some of the equipment would also be placed in Germany.

The amount of equipment to be stored in each country would be enough to supply between 150 and 750 soldiers.
