PART 630--ABSENTEE DESERTER APPREHENSION PROGRAM AND SURRENDER OF MILITARY PERSONNEL TO CIVILIAN LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES--Table of Contents
 
                  Subpart D--Return to Military Control
 
Sec. 630.14  Use of escorts.

    (a) Commanders and provost marshals must ensure that the most 
economical and efficient means are used to return surrendered or 
captured absentees to their parent unit or personnel control facility as 
appropriate. For example, alternatives such as express mailing of DD 
Form 460 and a transportation request may be used instead of an escort 
if there is a reasonable expectation that the absentee will comply.
    (b) The use of escorts should be considered if--
    (1) There is not a reasonable expectation that the absentee will not 
comply.
    (2) The absentee is a special category absentee IAW Sec. 630.8 of 
this part.
    (3) The absentee is pending serious criminal charges.
    (4) The absentee is in the custody of a civilian law enforcement 
agency that is not willing to assist in processing the absentee by mail 
or similar means.
    (c) When escorts are deemed necessary, consideration should be given 
to using noncommissioned officers from the parent unit before committing 
military police manpower.
