BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The United States plans by the end of next year to station around 150 tanks and armoured vehicles in Europe for use by U.S. forces training there, according to a U.S. military commander.

Some of the tanks and vehicles - enough to equip an armoured brigade - could be placed in Poland, Romania or the Baltic states, Lieutenant-General Ben Hodges, commander of the U.S. Army in Europe, said in a telephone interview with Reuters from Wiesbaden, Germany.
