Creating a Controlled Humidity Protection (CHP) environment of between 30% and 40% relative humidity stops atmospheric corrosion. The paper presents: • The relationship between relative humidity and corrosion/material degradation rates. • The extent of CHP systems deployment throughout the Department of Defense, highlighting U.S. Marine Corps, Army National Guard and Naval Aviation applications. • CHP systems in use on Aircraft, aviation and weapons Support Equipment, and other combat equipment. • DoD, U.S. Marine Corps and Naval Aviation CHP policy directives. • Independent CHP performance and economic analyses by the General Accounting Office, DoD Inspector General and Army Cost and Economic Analysis Center (CEAC). • User-reported performance and economic results.
