A locally modified, ground use version of the RGM-79 GM, the GM Land Combat Type is primarily deployed in the European front late in the One Year War. The most notable modification is the enhanced armor on its upper body. This came about as obstacles on the ground, such as trees and buildings, resulted in mobile suits' upper body having an abnormally high chance of being hit by enemy attacks during battles. The enhanced upper body armor could withstand attacks from a Zaku machine gun, increasing the pilot's survival rate. To compensate for the added weight, it was fitted with a new backpack with six thruster nozzles.
