1-2. Maintenance Forms, Records, and Reports. Department of the Army forms and procedures used for equipment
maintenance will be those prescribed by DA Pam 738-750, The Army Maintenance Management System (TAMMS).
1-3. Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) of Army Materiel. 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 this 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. The form
should be submitted to the address specified in DA PAM 738-750.
1-4. Destruction of Army Material to Prevent Enemy Use. Command decisions, according to tactical situation, will
determine when destruction of the trailer pump unit will be accomplished. A destruction plan will be prepared
