This article initially appeared in PS 795 (Feb 19) p. 56.

To help prevent corrosion, keep plenty of desiccant on hand.
        
Get a drum of 300 desiccant bags with NSN 6850-00-264-6571 for about $280.
        
Place bags in moisture-prone spots to keep equipment dry. When placing the bags make sure they won’t block vents, fall into moving parts or otherwise cause equipment concerns.
        
Replace the bags as needed or during scheduled services.
