An uncertain recollection of airborne light-tank trials

A brief July 2020 recollection raises airborne light-tank trials without identifying the vehicle.

Question

Was the US military working on a new light tank?

Short answer

Airborne trials are recalled, possibly involving the 101st, but the identification is explicitly uncertain.

Notes

The July 2020 reply recalls work on a lighter vehicle for airborne forces. The 101st is mentioned as a possible trials unit, with an explicit warning that the recollection may be wrong. No vehicle or programme is identified.
