Yup.
Pretty much the same with the plow on the Abrams too.
I'm not sure if an M1A1 with the plow attached will fit on an LCAC, it may be too long for the cargo bay.
Since the subject sorta-kinda seems to be "assault beach landings"...
For an assault landing the USMC generally relies on man-portable obstacle breaching devices.
Since WinSPMBT doesn't deal with line-charges, bangalores, etc. just add some extra infantry engineers for a beach assault scenario to represent the breaching devices that
would be issued to the regular infantry units in such a situation.
Should the need arise there are plans (on paper anyway) to land armored bulldozers via LSTs. As I understand it the armor came from the old WWII CA's that were broken up. With like 8 inches of armor the dozers would only move like 3mph *LOL*
