What would you say to someone if they accused you of intentionally accepting corrosion that led to damage or loss of military equipment, infrastructure and facilities or the injury, lost time, loss of lifer? The truth is, we do choose to accept corrosion and its negative consequences based on the tradeoffs/choices and limitations we are faced with. Scientists say that the average human makes thousands of decisions every day. Researchers at Cornell have found that the average human makes approximately 230 decisions a day on food alone.

What would you say to someone if they accused you of intentionally accepting corrosion that led to damage or loss of military equipment, infrastructure and facilities or the injury, lost time, loss of lifer? The truth is, we do choose to accept corrosion and its negative consequences based on the tradeoffs/choices and limitations we are faced with. Scientists say that the average human makes thousands of decisions every day. Researchers at Cornell have found that the average human makes approximately 230 decisions a day on food alone. In this paper, I will show you how we make both conscious and unconscious decisions that have an impact on our military equipment, infrastructure, and facilities. I will also explain how we in the Army do our very best to prevent and control corrosion. Every functional area in the Army (e.g., Warfighter, science & technology, acquisition, logistics, procurement, etc.) necessitates decisions/choices on a daily basis that impact our ability to prevent and control corrosion. For the most part, everything we do in the design, development, production, construction, and sustainment of our equipment, infrastructure and facilities is initiated by our customer’s (the Warfighter) requirements and how they state their need(s).
