No, there is not. The military can apprehend the individual at any time. You cannot get out of your commitment just by hiding for a period of time.
Unless you are being held on a totally separate criminal charge - you are probably being held for the MP's to come get you and return you to military confinement. No extradition procedures are necessary to return military prisoners to military custody.
Absence without leave (AWOL) refers to the unauthorized absence of a military member from their assigned duties, typically without permission. It is a serious offense in the military and can result in disciplinary actions.
yes due to the fact that the offense is federal.
It can be viewed as running away from the military or active duty, if you are called a draft dodger. This term was commonly applied to people who did not want to participate in the Vietnam War. If you are already in service to the military establishment and you run away from the military you are considered AWOL. This is short for â??Absent Without Official Leaveâ??.
Start off with sites: Statistics about the Vietnam War, then move on to AWOL or Military AWOL (Absent Without Leave).
AWOL is a military term meaning Absent WithOut Leave, meaning basically some who is missing without an excuse.
== == Well you should already know if your AWOL from the military because you left your base or unit. Now saying that if you want to find out if you are now considered a deserter and there is a warrant out for your arrest then you need to call the Deserter Information Point aka DIP. I don't know your situation or circumstance but you should also call the people at GI Rights Hotline and talk to a someone. They counsel thousands of awol/deserter soldiers every year.
Both military and civilian courts have jurisdiction.
AWOL soldiers
I think you may mean AWOL. This stands for Absent Without Leave.
Being AWOL - means you have left somewhere that you were expected to be - without permission. It's typically applied to the armed forces, especially the army. If a soldier leaves the base without authorisation - he is considered AWOL, and would be disciplined on either his return, or capture !
