[00:00.21]U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter said Tuesday [00:07.57]the U.S. will position about250 tanks [00:12.50]and other equipment in eastern and central Europe. [00:17.70]The move is meant to reassure NATO allies [00:22.20]after threats from Russia and terrorist groups.

[00:41.29]Some of the equipment would also be placed in Germany. [00:45.91]The amount of equipment to be stored in each country [00:50.14]would be enough to supply between 150 and 750 soldiers.
