Person on outside of military vehicle injured nontraf, init

This code identifies an injury sustained by an individual who was positioned on the exterior of a military vehicle during a non-traffic related incident. The injury is a direct result of their external position on the vehicle, rather than an internal occupant injury or a collision with another vehicle.

Use this code when a service member or other authorized personnel is injured while riding on the outside of a military vehicle (e.g., on a tank, armored personnel carrier) and the incident does not involve a collision with another vehicle or a public roadway. This applies to training accidents, maneuvers, or other operational activities where the vehicle itself is not involved in a traffic accident.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the individual was outside the vehicle at the time of injury.
• Verify the incident was nontraffic related; if it involved a traffic accident, a different code would be appropriate.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of this specific injury.
