Today, the Army has a European Activity Set that contains about a battalion‘s worth of heavy equipment, including 29 Abrams tanks and 33 Bradleys. This set is meant to be used by troops coming into the region from the United States.

By the end of January 2016, the Army plans to grow that set to a brigade‘s worth – that‘s about 220 Abrams tanks and Bradleys, Hodges said.
