Study on the Apprehension of Military Deserters during Peacetime in an All-Volunteer Force. Phase I.

Abstract

A requirement existed to examine current Army policy on handling of deserters during peacetime in an all-volunteer force. USA ADMINCEN, under the sponsorship of HQDA, ODCSPER, studied current policy and alternative methods of handling deserters. Based on study results no change should be made in policy on apprehension of deserters. Recommendation is made to examine the sample of military personnel displaying characteristics associated with deserters--but who have not deserted, to establish validity of deserter predictors, to determine whether they would be useful in a preventative sense. Study is being forwarded to Congress to justify current policy in opposition to GAO recommendation to discharge military deserters in absentia.
