Caterpillar D7 Bulldozer
The Caterpillar D7 series medium bulldozer began service with the U.S. military during World War II. With upgrades and changes, it has been a workhorse for the U.S. Military for over fifty years, fulfilling its primary earthmoving role as well as a host of other roles discovered for it, for example mine clearing with a special flail adapter kit. Although very versatile, the ability of the D7 to operate varies with soil conditions.
For the Army, the D7 dozer is the primary earthmover for construction of survivability positions and antitank ditches. It must be transported by trailer due to its poor mobility. Three dozers are assigned to corps combat engineer companies and CONUS divisional combat engineer companies. The other U.S. Military services have roles for the D7 in their operations around the world.
