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 can be made to prevent the problem in the future. b. While corrosion is typically associated with rusting of metals, it can also include de- terioration 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 SF 368, Product Quali- ty Deficiency Report. Use of key words such as “corrosion, ” “rust, ” “deterioration, ” or “ c r a c k i n g” will assure that the information is identified as a CPC problem. d. The form should be submitted to: Com- mander, U.S. Army Armament, Munitions and Chemical Command, ATTN: AMSMC-QAS/ Customer Feedback Center, Rock Island, IL 61299 - 6000. DESCRIPTION AND DATA 1-8.
