1-6.1 CORROSION PREVENTION AND
CONTROL (CPC).
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
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 Standard 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: Commander, U.S. Army Armament
Research, Development and Engineering Center,
ATTN: AMSTA-AR-QAW-A (R)/Customer
Feedback Center, Rock Island, IL 61299-7300.
