I hope someone here can help me out. I have been looking for at least one photo of a Army M1A2v2 with the Dozer blade attached. I have found several USMC A1s with it but no Army.

Thanks

US Army does not mount blades on Abrams.

In case you do decide to do one in some shape or form, this is a highly modified Trumpeter Challenger II blade and mount.

Hi!
Apart from the question which version of M1 carries it, here is a Dozer blade that has the M1 modifications:

USMC mounts modified British Pearson blades on some or their M1A1s.

Some examples.

It is the same basic blade system that is/can be fitted on the M1150 ABV (Assualt Breacher Vehicle).
