1-3. 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 the Roller 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 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 Standard Form 368, Product Quality Deficiency
Report. Use of keywords such as “corrosion,” “rust,” “deterioration,” or “cracking” will ensure that the
information is identified as a CPC problem. Submit the form to the address specified in DA PAM 738-750.
1-4. DESTRUCTION OF ARMY MATERIEL TO PREVENT ENEMY USE
Command decision, according to the tactical situation, will determine when the destruction of the Roller will be
accomplished. A destruction plan will be prepared by the using organization unless one has been prepared by a
higher authority. For general destruction procedures for this equipment, refer to TM 750-244-6, Procedures for
Destruction of Tank-Automotive Equipment to Prevent Enemy Use (U.S. Army Tank-automotive and
Armaments Command).
