In the U.S. military, a service member is considered to have deserted if they are absent without leave (AWOL) for more than 30 consecutive days. This period is defined under Article 85 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). If a service member is AWOL for less than 30 days, it is typically classified as a lesser offense. However, the specific circumstances and context can influence the determination of desertion.

What is the usual punishment for being awol from the army?

the consequences of going awol from the army depend largely upon how long a soldier has been in the military. for instance, one who has not yet completed ait and leaves can likely return to military custody after approx. 30 days of awol to be discharged with an oth. those who have completed ait have a more difficult time getting out, but it is not impossible. The above answer is not correct. The punishment can vary depending on how the member's command decides to handle it, which largely depends on how long the member was gone, prior record of service, whether or not the command believes the member is salvageable etc. Violation of Article 86 of the UCMJ for more than 30 days is considered a serious offense which warrants confinement, and a punitive discharge (Bad Conduct or Dishonorable) if adjudged at a special or general court-martial. If the member was UA less than 30 days, the case will normally be handled at non-judicial punishment (NJP) or perhaps summary court-martial. Penalties at NJP could consist of loss of rank, restriction, loss of pay and extra duties. In a summary court-martial the penalties are more severe than NJP, and include confinement up to 30 days, loss of rank and pay, restriction, extra duties etc. Following NJP or summary court-martial, members might be administratively separated if they had prior misconduct documented through retention warnings and/or other NJP's. Many members who go UA for more than 30 days end up requesting separation in lieu of trial by court-martial (SILT). This allows them to avoid the severe penalties of a special or general court-martial. They almost always end up with an under other than honorable conditions (OTH) characterization of service.
