Internet access, the easiest and fastest way to report problems or suggestions is to go to https://aeps.ria.army.mil/

CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (CPC)
a.
Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) of Army materiel is a continuing concern. It is important that any cor-
rosion 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.
b.
While corrosion is typically associated with rusting of metals, it can also include deterioration of other materi-
als, 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 Form 368 (Product Quality
Deficiency Report). Use of key words such as “corrosion,” “rust,” “deterioration,” or “cracking” will ensure that
the information is identified as a CPC problem. The form should be submitted to the address specified in DA
PAM 750-8.
