While the RGM-79 GM proved itself to be a highly capable MS, the introduction of Zeon's MS-09 Dom on Earth saw the need for a more maneuverable and better-performing mobile suit to counter the agile and well-armed Dom. A variant of the GM, the RGM-79D GM Cold Climate Type had increased thruster power and maneuverability, and some were modified for harsh climate conditions, most notably cold weather combat. The RGM-79D could be equipped with a variety of weaponry, including two types of 90mm machine gun, grenades, head-mounted vulcan guns, and beam sabers. The RGM-79D was introduced late in the war, with at least three units assigned to Lieutenant Yu Kajima's MS combat testing squad. Yu Kajima's unit quickly proved the value of the new model GM in combat, destroying several Zeon mobile suits in defense of a Federal Forces base, including several MSM-03C Hygoggs and three Doms. Other units were deployed to guard important Federation Forces bases, such as the Arctic base where research and development of the RX-78NT-1 G-4 Gundam "Alex" was carried out.
