In a move observers say is sure to exacerbate military tensions with
Russia, the Pentagon is poised to send enough tanks and heavy artillery
for as many as 5,000 U.S. troops to the Eastern Bloc and Baltic States,

officials briefed on the Pentagon proposal, the New York Timesreports
that such approval is likely to come from Defense Sectary Ashton Carter
and the White House before the NATO defense ministers' meeting in
Brussels, Belgium later this month.
