CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL. a. Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) of Army materiel is a continuing concern. It is important that corrosion problems with the ancillary items are reported so that problems can be corrected and improvements can be applied to future items. b. 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. c. If a corrosion problem is identified, it can be reported using Standard Form 368, Quality Deficiency Report. Use of key words such as "corrosion", "rust", "deterioration", or "cracking" will assure that the information is identified as a CPC problem. d. This form should be submitted to the address specified in DA Pam 738-750. Section II. EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION 1-8. EQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS, CAPABILITIES, AND FEATURES.
