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 or 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 SF368, 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. This form should be submitted to the address specified in DA Pam 738- 750. DESTRUCTION OF ARMY MATERIEL TO PREVENT ENEMY USE.
