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 units 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.
