§ 630.13 - AWOL/deserter apprehension efforts.

The return of absentees to military control is a command responsibility. Military police will generally not be committed to proactive efforts to apprehend AWOL soldiers or deserters except when the provost marshal determines that such efforts are warranted by specific circumstances. Examples of instances when such effort is warranted include when the AWOL soldier or deserter is wanted as the subject of additional more serious charges or is a special category absentee as defined in § 630.8 of this part.
