1-5. CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (CPC)
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 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 a corrosion problem.
If a corrosion problem is identified, it can be reported using SF 368, Product Quality Deficiency Report (QDR). Check
the box to indicate that the problem may be corrosion-related. Using key words such as "rust," "deterioration," "pitting,"
or "cracking," or even including color photos of the corroded area, where possible, in your QDR will help in problem
diagnosis and solution.
Submit form to Commander, U.S. Army Troop Support Command, ATTN: AMSTR-QX, 4300 Goodfellow Blvd., St. Louis,
MO 63120-1798.
