1.3.
CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL.
Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) of Army
materiel is a continuing concern. It is important that any
corrosion problem be reported, so the problem can be
corrected and improvements can be made to prevent the
problem in the future.
While corrosion is typically associated with rusting of
metals, it also includes the deterioration of other
materials, such as
rubber and plastic. Unusual cracking, softening,
swelling, or breaking of these materials may indicate a
corrosion problem.
If a corrosion problem is identified, report it using an SF
368, Product Quality Deficiency Report. Completed
forms should be submitted to the address specified in
DA PAM 738-750. Use of key words such as
"corrosion", "rust", "deterioration", or "cracking" will
ensure the information is identified as a CPC problem.
1.4.

PREVENT ENEMY USE.
Procedures for destruction of Army materiel to prevent
enemy use are listed in TM 720-244-6.
