The T70 prototype for the M18 first saw combat at Anzio, Italy, and production versions of the M18 were used in North-West Europe and Italy from the summer of 1944 onwards.

M-18
It first saw action in the Summer of 1944 in Europe.1 One unit to use it quite effectively was the 630th Tank Destroyer Battalion in July 1944 reported destroying 53 Panthers & Tigers and 15 self propelled guns with only a loss of 17 of their M18s.1

By 1945 most of the M18s were often deployed to the regular Armored Divisions as the separate tank destroyer battalion concept was dwendling.3 They were however used as assault guns or artillery.3
