Sometimes the size of a problem becomes part of the problem itself.

A look at the risks corrosion poses to sustainment.

Learn more about how new technologies are helping the military fight corrosion to keep assets ready - and lower the cost to maintain them.

It’s well known that corrosion puts a lot of stress on equipment and structures. What’s less obvious is the toll it can take on personnel.

Corrosion has, of course, always been a threat to operational readiness - but perhaps never more than today. You might have your own list, but here’s our list.

INDOPACOM is an enormous challenge when it comes to logistics and supply chains. One reason is that INDOPACOM itself is enormous.

We asked a popular chat bot whether atmospheric corrosion represents a threat to national security.

Over a ten-year period LMI calculated that corrosion was the cause of nearly 6 million Non-Available Days (NADs) for Army Ground Vehicles.

Yes, cost avoidance is an enormous benefit. But what gets overshadowed by those staggering dollar figures is all the other benefits you get.

Corrosion impacts operational readiness in more ways than you might realize. Not only can it ground aircraft and make weapons systems and tactical vehicles unusable, it can decimate supplies and spare parts.
