Yes, a service member who goes AWOL (Absent Without Leave) from the Army can face legal consequences, including potential imprisonment. The severity of the punishment often depends on the duration of the AWOL status and the circumstances surrounding the absence. Military law, specifically the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), governs these cases, and penalties can range from non-judicial punishment to court-martial. Ultimately, the decision rests with military authorities based on the specifics of the case.
AWOL from the British Army.. Yes i know someone who did it but don't be shocked when it catches up with you.
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 !
When I was in the Army, the company commander was required to contact the local sherirfs dept. Most times they were the primary party responsible for locating AWOL soldiers. After 30 days the soldier is considered a desertter and dropped from Company roles.

Absent Without Official Leave as in if you do a crime and you are down in any base example: Milatary, army, marines, etc, you are AWOL.
Marines do not go "AWOL" they go UA -Unauthorized Absence- Absent With out Leave is an Army term, but to answer your question "no" there is not a list that i know of.
Yes. He went AWOL, but later turned himself in to the Army.
Both military and civilian courts have jurisdiction.
AWOL, insubordination and tardiness are all offences
No. Although he did go AWOL in 1968 (his fifth year in the Army), the discharge he received was classed as honorable.
I believe you can, but this info does not exist on any databases available to the general public. Best thing would probably be to contact the unit of the suspected AWOL member. Or you could call whatever local unit of the military that you can and ask to speak with the Provost Marshall's Office. They would be the most logical place to begin.
The US Army is full of abbreviations and acronyms. AWOL is an acronym that stands for Absent With Out Leave. When a soldier cannot be found, such as when a soldier is taken hostage during war, he is deemed DUSTWUN pronounced Dust One. It stands for DUty STation Whereabouts UNknown.
