The 4 Tank Company was a unit designation used by the United States Army during the interwar period. It was part of the Organized Reserve and was constituted in the early 1920s as part of the Army’s efforts to maintain a tank force following World War I. The company was assigned to the 4th Tank Group, which was organized to provide armored support and training for reserve officers and enlisted personnel. The 4 Tank Company participated in annual training exercises and maneuvers, contributing to the development of U.S. armored doctrine during a period of limited resources and evolving technology. The unit was eventually inactivated as the Army reorganized its armored forces prior to World War II. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_Army_tank_companies
