The mishap must have occurred during the use of these means of transport and that
occurrence must have been a result of the hazards related to such use (i.e., a fall
aboard ship would not be considered a hazard related to transport by ship). The use is
considered to have begun when personnel board for the purpose of transport.
e. Place of occurrence. Categories VIII to XII require the use of standard third-
digit "place of occurrence" codes (see table 4-20). In the following example, the patient
was assaulted by an unknown person at the barracks. The first and second positions
(97) are for the external cause of injury. The third-digit position (8) indicates the place
of occurrence.
