The value of bulldozer for removing obstacles or debris became clear in World War 2. The advantage of having such a device mounted on a combat tank, which in the mean time retained its fire power, was even greater. In World War 2, dozer blades were mounted on the M4 Sherman which on many occasions came to the aid of standard convoys while under fire, capable of anticipating any hostile threat.

After World War 2, dozer blade kits were mounted to the M46 and M47 tanks to further improver the system. When the M48 and M60 tank became available, a standardized newly bulldozer blade assembly was fitted and more test runs were accomplished until the late 1960's.

The M9 dozer blade became the standard configuration of the U.S. Forces.
