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.

Can you find out if an army soldier is on awol status?

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.
