During the One Year War, the Principality of Zeon's most heavily mass produced mobile suit was the MS-06F Zaku II. However, many variants of the Type F were also introduced during the war, and the MS-06J Zaku II was almost completely identical to it. The Type J was built exclusively for ground combat, removing the vernier thrusters required on space use Type F models. The Type J also carried a slightly more powerful powerplant and was waterproofed for limited underwater operations. Despite these minor differences, the Type J was 99 percent visually identical to the standard Type F. The Type J also used all of the same standard armaments as its spaceborne counterpart, although some were known to hand-carry the 175mm cannon pulled from a HT-01B Magella Attack tank. Type J Zakus were notably employed in the Southeast Asia, Australia and European campaigns.
