1.4. CORROSION AND PREVENTION CONTROL. Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) of Army materiel
is a continuing concern. It is important that any corrosion problems with this item be reported so that the
problem can be corrected and improvements can be made to prevent the problem in future items.
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 the materials may be
a corrosion problem.
If a corrosion problem is identified, it can be reported using Standard Form 368, Product Quality Deficiency
Report. Use of key words such as "rust", "deterioration", "corrosion", or "cracking" will ensure that the
information is identified as a CPC problem. The form should be submitted to the address specified in the DA
PAM 738-750.
1.5. DESTRUCTION OF ARMY MATERIEL TO PREVENT ENEMY USE. Refer to TM 750-244-3, Procedures
for Destruction of Equipment to Prevent Enemy Use.
1.6. PREPARATION FOR STORAGE OR SHIPMENT. Contact unit maintenance for preparation and storage
or shipment. Refer to Section V, Chapter 4.
