A
rmy tactical wheeled vehicle and trailer operators and mechanics now have an up-
to-date publication to help them prevent and control corrosion on their equipment.
TB 43-0213,
Corrosion Prevention and Control
[CPC]
for Tactical Vehicles
, has
been revised and was published in Sep 2007.
Units must practice CPC and use of the publication is mandatory, says the
headshed, wherever corrosion prevention is essential. In simple terms, that’s pretty
much everywhere.
The pub covers heavy tactical vehicles (HEMTT, HET, PLS), medium vehicles
(FMTV, ASV, M923), HMMWVs, and a variety of heavy, medium and light tactical
trailers.
The publication de±nes corrosion, discusses the metals affected by corrosion,
describes how corrosion occurs, and points out particular problem areas for each
vehicle type and how to protect them.
