In addition, the team has created systems to enable effective preservation of equipment, and identify areas where investments could be made in the future to further improve the CPAC programme.

The company also handles the management of teams of subcontractors who undertake corrosion assessments and repairs at USMC locations worldwide.

The CPAC programme was designed to address the loss of readiness through corrosion of tactical ground and ground support equipment.

Corrosion significantly affects the operational and structural capabilities of military equipment.

The purpose of CPAC is to identify and develop corrosion prevention and control products, materials, technologies, as well as processes to extend equipment usage life and reduce maintenance costs.
