Department of Defense Corrosion Prevention and Mitigation

Abstract

Congress has required the Secretary of Defense to designate a person or organization to be responsible for oversight and coordination of the Department's efforts to prevent and mitigate corrosion of military equipment and infrastructure. In addition, the Secretary of Defense must develop and implement a long-term strategy to reduce corrosion and the effects of corrosion. This study examined the existing DoD organization and recommended an official to meet the congressionally imposed requirement. The study also recommended an approach to developing a long-term strategy for corrosion prevention and mitigation.
