It is a Court Martial offense in the military, and would result in discharge under less then honorable conditions as a minimum. It could also result in a considerable jail term. While the above response is essentially true, there are some other important details to be discussed. First, courts martial for desertion are rare, as demonstrating that a service member has left the military with either a) the intent of never returning or b) the intent of shirking hazardous duty is challenging. In the recent wars, only those folks who have fled the country for Canada and have subsequently been deported to the US have been tried for desertion. That said, courts martials are generally avoided and discharges for AWOL/UA under Other Than Honorable (OTH) conditions are fairly common. But again, this depends on the branch of the service and how long the member has been absent.
