Corrosion prevention and control (CPC) of Army material 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.
Use of key words such as ‘corrosion, " "rust,"
“deterioration," or “cracking” will ensure that the information is identified as a
corrosion problem.
The form should be submitted to the address specified in DA PAM
738-750.
