## Abstract

The Department of the Army announces a complete revision of its Military Absentee and Deserter Apprehension regulations to bring them in line with changes to Army Regulation 190-9, with the same title. This revision revises provost marshal procedures and responsibilities for military personnel who are in an absentee or deserter status and procedures and responsibilities for surrender of military personnel to civilian law enforcement authorities. These regulations support the approved parts of the Joint Service Plan for Deserter Apprehension Program July 1978 and Department of Defense Directive 1325.2.
