Armalite was actively pitching the AR-18 to the US government at about the same time the paroxysms about the M14 program and the USAF adoption of the M16 were happening.
It, apparently, came >< that close to happening.
The Stoner 63 system was being troop and field tested in this same time frame.
The US Army was going to get a 5.56x45mm rifle; but which rifle was in play longer than I'd thought.
