1-4. CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (CPC)
a. Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) of Army materiel is a continuing concern. It is therefore
important that any corrosion problem with this equipment is reported so that it can be corrected and
improvements made to prevent the problem on future equipments.
b. While corrosion is typically associated with the rusting of metals it can also include deterioration of other
materials such as rubber and plastic. Unusual cracking, softening, swelling or breaking of these materials may
be caused by a corrosion problem.
c. If a corrosion problem is identified it can be reported using SF 368 (Product Quality Deficiency Report).
The use of keywords such as "corrosion", "rust", "deterioration" or "cracking" will ensure that the information is
identified as a CPC problem.
d. The completed form should be submitted to the address specified in DA PAM 738-750 (The Army
Maintenance Management System (TAMMS)).
1-5. DESTRUCTION OF ARMY MATERIEL TO PREVENT ENEMY USE
