Well assuming that you are talking about a true tank and not a Bradley IFV or other APC such as the Stryker then it is probably one of the Abrams series. It is new in relative terms...Its first test in combat was during the first Gulf War.

The true new armored vehicle is the Stryker which is still being manufactured to fulfill the Stryker Brigade. Was it wheeled or tracked?

Check out this link for many of the other common armored vehicles:
