REPORTING EQUIPMENT IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS (EIR’S)

If your Cummins NTC-400 six cylinder diesel engine needs improvement, let us know. Send us an EIR. You, the user, are the only one who can tell us what you don’t like about your equipment. Let us know what you don’t like about the design or performance. The preferred method for submitting Quality Deficiency Reports (QDRs) is through the Army Electronic Product Support (AEPS) website under the Electronic Deficiency Reporting System (EDRS). The web address is: https://aeps.ria.army.mil. This is a secured site requiring a password that can be applied for on the front page of the website. If the above method is not available to you, put it on an SF 368, Product Quality Deficiency Report (PQDR), and mail it to us at: Department of the Army, U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command, ATTN: AMSTA-LC-CHMM, 6501 E. 11 Mile Road, Mail Stop 420, Warren, MI 48397-5000.

CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (CPC)

Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) of Army materiel is a continuing 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 the future. 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 an SF 368, Quality Deficiency Report. 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 Users Manual for The Army Maintenance Management System (TAMMS).

DESTRUCTION OF ARMY MATERIEL TO PREVENT ENEMY USE

Procedures for destruction of Army equipment to prevent enemy use can be found in TM 750-244-6.
