1.3 CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (CPC). Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) of Army Material 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 cam also include deterioration of other materials such
as rubber and plastic. Unusual cracking, softening, and 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 insure that the information is identified as a CPC
problem. The form should be submitted to the address specified in the DA PAM 738-750.
1.4 DESTRUCTION OF ARMY MATERIAL TO PREVENT ENEMY USE. For destruction procedures for material, refer to
TM 750-244-3.
