REPORTING EQUIPMENT IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS (EIR)
0001
If your D7R Dozer needs improvement, let us know. Send us an EIR. You, the user, are the only one who can tell
us what you do not like about your equipment. Let us know why you do not like the design or performance. If you
have Internet access, the easiest and fastest way to report problems or suggestions is to go to http://
www.nslcptsmh.csd.disa.mil/webpqdr/webpqdr.htm. The Internet form lets you submit a Product Quality Deficiency
Report (PQDR).
You may also submit your information using an SF Form 368, Product Quality Deficiency Report. You can send
your SF 368 via e-mail, regular mail, or facsimile directly to the U.S. Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Com-
mand. The postal mail address is U.S. Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command, ATTN: AMSRD-TAR-E/

CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (CPC)
0001
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 future items.
Corrosion specifically occurs with metals. It is an electrochemical process that causes the degradation of metals. It
is commonly caused by exposure to moisture, acids, bases, or salts. An example is the rusting of iron. Corrosion
damage in metals can be seen, depending on the metal, as tarnishing, pitting, fogging, surface residue, and/or
Plastics, composites, and rubber compounds can also degrade. Degradation is caused by thermal energy (heat),
oxidation (oxygen), solvation (solvents), or photolytic (light, typically UV) processes. The most common exposures
are excessive heat or light. Damage from these processes will appear as cracking, softening, swelling, and/or
breaking.
SF Form 368, Product Quality Deficiency Report, should be submitted to the address specified in PAM 750-8,
TAMMS Users Manual.
OZONE-DEPLETING SUBSTANCES
0001
There are no ozone-depleting substances contained on the machine or used during machine maintenance.
DESTRUCTION OF ARMY MATERIEL TO PREVENT ENEMY USE
