The Medium Tank M1922 was an inter-war period medium tank built in the United States.[1] It was largely a variant of the Medium Tank M1921, with some changes to use the same track suspension system that had been developed for the Medium Mark D.[2]
The M1922 was initially the second tank in an order for two M1921s placed in April 1920 but the order was changed to one M1921 to the original design and one using the cable track system [2]
