1-8. 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 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 the materials may be corrosion problems. If a corrosion problem is identified, it can be
reported using Standard Form 368, Product Quality Deficiency Report. Use key words such as "rust", "deterioration",
"corrosion", or "cracking" to insure that the information is identified as a CPC problem. The form should be submitted to:
Commander, U.S. Army Aviation and Troop Command, ATTN: AMSAT-I-MDO, 4300 Goodfellow Blvd., St. Louis, MO
631201798.
