Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) of Army materiel is a constant concern. It is important that any corrosion problem
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 these materials may be a corrosion problem.
If a corrosion problem is identified, it can be reported using SF 368, Product Quality Deficiency Report (QDR). Use of key
words such as "corrosion," "rust," "deterioration," or "cracking" will ensure that the information is identified as a CPC
problem.
The form should be submitted to the address specified in DA PAM 738-750, Functional User's Manual for The Army
Maintenance Management System (TAMMS).
Command decision, according to the tactical situation, will determine when the destruction of the IHMEE vehicle will be
