CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (CPC)
Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) of Army materiel is a continuing
concern. It is important that any corrosion or degradation 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
cracking. Plastics, composites, and rubbers can also degrade.
0001-1
TM 10-8415-236-10
0001
CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (CPC) - Continued

Degradation is caused by thermal (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 DA PAM 750-8, The Army Maintenance Management
System (TAMMS) Users Manual.
DESTRUCTION OF ARMY MATERIEL TO PREVENT ENEMY USE
Not Applicable to the ECWCS GEN III.
PREPARTION FOR STORAGE OR SHIPMENT

DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS (BASE LAYER(S))

The Base Layer
Base layer (Figure 1) are those adjacent to your body and should be worn
comfortably loose. The main purpose of these garments is to wick excess
moisture away from your body. The Light-Weight Cold Weather Undershirt and
Drawers (silk-weight) make up the base layer. The Mid-Weight Cold Weather
Undershirt and Drawers (Figure 2) can be used as either a base or insulating
layer.
Light-Weight Cold Weather Undershirt and Drawers: Base Layer
Long sleeve top and full-length bottom garments constructed out of Silk-weight
moisture wicking polyester (Figure 1). The undershirt has a crew neck with long
sleeves and is equipped with thumb loops at the ends of the sleeves to aid in
donning outer ware over the shirt. Flat seam construction reduces chafing.
Material aids in the movement of moisture from the skin to the outer layers both
while the wearer is moving or static. The drawers have an elastic waistband and
standard front fly opening. It is worn next to the skin or with the Mid-Weight Cold
Weather Shirt/Drawers for added insulation and to aid in the transfer or moisture.

DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS (INSULATION LAYER(S))
Insulation Layer(s)
The insulation layer(s) (Figures 2 and Figure 3) are the intermediate layer(s).
They provide volume to enable you to trap warm air between your body and
the outer garments. In addition, the insulation layer(s) help wick away any
excess moisture. These layers should be comfortably loose to trap a sufficient
volume of air. The Mid-Weight Cold Weather Undershirt and Drawers (Figure
2), and Fleece Cold Weather Jacket (Figure 3) make up the insulation layers.
The Fleece Cold Weather Jacket can also be used as an outer layer.
Mid-Weight Cold Weather Shirt and Drawers: Base or Insulation Layer.
Long sleeve top and full-length bottom garments constructed out of polyester
grid fleece (Figure 2). The shirt is equipped with a zippered neck and thumb
loops at the ends of the sleeves to aid in donning outerware over the shirt.
Provides light insulation for use in mild climates as well as acting as a layer for
colder climates. During movement, provides an increase in surface area for
the transportation of moisture away from the wearer. It may be worn over the
Light-Weight Cold Weather Undershirt and Drawers as an insulating layer or
next to the skin as a base layer.

DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS (OUTER SHELL LAYER(S))

Outer Shell Layer(s)
The outer shell layer(s) (Figures 4 thru 7) are the external layers that protect you
from the elements in your environment. They are made of a highly water and
wind resistant material that provides greater moisture vapor transfer over current
hard shell garments. Their main function is to keep you dry. In addition, they
provide additional volume for trapping body heat. Increased breathability
improves performance of the insulation layers by decreasing saturation due to
moisture vapor accumulation. These layers should be worn comfortably loose.
The Wind Cold Weather Jacket (Figure 4), Soft Shell Jacket and Trousers
(Figure 5), Extreme Cold/Wet Weather Jacket and Trousers (Figure 6), and the
Extreme Cold Weather Parka and Trousers (Figure 7) are the components that
make up the outer shell layer.

THEORY OF OPERATION
THEORY OF OPERATION
This work package discusses theory of operation of the ECWCS GEN III.
Extended Cold Weather Clothing System Generation III (ECWCS GEN III) is a
breathable multi-layered, versatile, insulating system that allows the soldier to
adapt to varying mission requirements and environmental conditions. The
system is designed to maintain adequate environmental protection between 40F
and -60F (4C and -51C). The ECWCS GEN III system uses moisture
management principles to transfer perspiration away from your skin so you will
remain dry and warm.
Under certain conditions such as high work activity followed by inactivity, the use
of wool or wool-cotton clothing items with ECWCS GEN III will reduce the level of
environmental protection provided by ECWCS GEN III.
In cold, wet and arctic environments it is recommended that you use only clothing
items listed in the COEI list. Cotton undergarments and ACUs (cotton blends)
are not recommended for use with the GEN III ECWCS.
ECWCS GEN III is not cumbersome in weight and bulk; the total system weighs
approximately 13 pounds. ECWCS GEN III is easy to maintain both in field and
garrison environments if the special use and care instructions are carefully
followed.

CHAPTER 2
OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONS FOR
EXTENDED COLD WEATHER CLOTHING SYSTEM
OPERATION UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS
INITIAL SETUP: Not applicable
0004
OPERATING PROCEDURES
Keep ECWCS GEN III Clean. Clothing keeps you warm by trapping warm air
against your body and in the pores of the clothing itself. If these pores become
filled with dirt, sweat, or other grime, the clothing will not be able to do its job
efficiently. Therefore, your clothes should be kept as clean as possible to keep
you as dry as possible (Refer to WP 0008).
Avoid Overheating During Activity. The key is not to be hot or cold, but
comfortably cool. Sweating is a sign that your body wants, and needs, to cool
down. Let the environment cool you down naturally, to avoid sweating. This may
be as simple as opening buttons or unzipping the underarms of the soft shell
parka, instead of removing a whole layer of clothing. Once you stop your work,
or feel yourself getting cold, bundle up again just enough to keep cool.
Wear ECWCS GEN III Clothing Loose and Layered. Clothes should fit loosely
for comfort. The more layers used, the more warm air will be trapped. Tight
clothing will also prevent air from being trapped between your body and your
clothing. It is the trapped air that keeps you warm, not the clothes. Several thin
layers working together will work better than one thick layer alone (i.e. wear both
the Light-Weight and Mid-Weight base layers with a Fleece Jacket insulation
layer and the Soft Shell Jacket and Trousers outer shell layer).
Keep Clothing Dry. Clothing must be kept dry from the outside, such as putting
on Extreme Wet/Cold Weather Jacket and Trousers during wet conditions, and
from the inside, such as taking a layer off when you start to sweat. Once your
clothes are wet, the water or sweat starts to evaporate, drawing warmth away
from your body 25 times faster than when dry.
NOTE
Clothing combinations shown in Figures 1 through 8
represent both recommended and optional
configurations.

CLEANING
This work package provides instructions for cleaning the ECWCS GEN III.
WARNING
DO NOT store in plastic bags that could trap moisture.
When laundering, refrain from using fabric softener or
bleach.
CAUTION
Pressing, Starching, Dry Cleaning, Bleaching, or the
use of Fabric Softener will degrade the ECWCS GEN
III. Follow the instructions carefully.
NOTE
Clean ECWCS GEN III clothing items regularly when
in use. Dirty clothes wear out quickly because dirt cuts
textile fibers and retains moisture from perspiration.
Prior to laundering and drying, make sure all the drawcords are tied together, all zippers are zipped, and all
snaps and hooks are fastened. Securing these items
will result in a better laundered garment.

NOTE
These are easy things you can do to keep your
ECWCS GEN III in top-notch shape. If you do this, it
will be ready for you to use.
1. Brush off all dirt and debris during use.
2. Store in patrol packs or rucksacks to protect while transporting.
3. Clean your clothing items regularly. Dirty clothes wear out quickly because
dirt cuts fibers and retains moisture. Refer to procedures detailed under
home laundering paragraph.
4. When required, use items listed in Table 1 to restore water repellency to the
outer shell layer. See paragraph Restoring Water Repellency to the Outer
Shell Layers.
END OF TASK
Home Laundering
CAUTION
Solvents/lubricants can bind and ruin silicones on soft
shell.
These guidelines apply for all items and their layers:
1. Machine-launder using the delicate/gentle fabric cycle or by hand. Use
lukewarm water (90F/32C) and cold water laundry detergent.
2. Rinse in clean, cold water.
3. Tumble dry wet garments at temperatures not exceeding 130F/54C as
degradation of the component materials will result.
4. Avoid over drying.
5. To drip dry, place on a rust proof hanger.

Restoring Water Repellency to the Outer Shell Layers

Repeated washings will reduce the effectiveness of the water repellency of the
ECWCS GEN III outer shell layer. Water will be absorbed and the fabric will wet
out instead of beading on the surface. When this happens, the water repellency
will need to be restored. Table 1 below lists approved waterproofing and
waterproof restoring compounds authorized for use on the outer shell layer.
Follow manufacturers recommended directions on the container.

This fine document...

Was brought to you by me:
Liberated Manuals -- free army and government manuals

Why do I do it? I am tired of sleazy CD-ROM sellers, who take publicly
available information, slap watermarks and other junk on it, and sell it.
Those masters of search engine manipulation make sure that their sites that
sell free information, come up first in search engines. They did not create it...
They did not even scan it... Why should they get your money? Why are not
letting you give those free manuals to your friends?
I am setting this document FREE. This document was made by the US
Government and is NOT protected by Copyright. Feel free to share,
republish, sell and so on.
I am not asking you for donations, fees or handouts. If you can, please
provide a link to liberatedmanuals.com, so that free manuals come up first in
search engines:
