DoD Plans Ambitious Video Production Schedule in 2009

Raising Awareness about Corrosion is a Top Priority

By Cynthia Greenwood

Since 2007, the DoD Corrosion Policy and Oversight Office has made education and outreach a top priority. Working with a team of communication advisors in the DoD Corrosion Forum, the Office released its first informational video and video cast, titled In Focus: The War on Corrosion. The hour-long show aims to teach the American public about corrosion as a menace to our infrastructure and pocketbooks.

A new video cast that articulates the DoD’s general corrosion prevention program was released in June of 2008. It is currently posted at www.CorrDefense.org. Another video cast explaining the law related to DoD corrosion policy was also posted at www.CorrDefense.org in February 2009.

For the past year, the DoD Corrosion Office has embarked on an ambitious plan to produce more than a dozen new video, video cast, and gaming tools to train the DoD acquisition workforce, industry corrosion technicians, and the general public.

Below is a list of upcoming training and outreach projects that are underway. In some cases, the final release date of the video or game has not been determined. (See LeVar Burton Stars in New DoD Training Video.)
