corrosion problems with this item be reported so that the problem can be corrected and improvements
can be made to prevent future problems.
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 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 ensure
that the information is identified as a CPC problem. The form should be submitted to the address
specified in DA PAM 738-750.
