Abstract

Over 150 soldiers were interviewed to determine causes of their going AWOL. The adaptable approach of the sergeant seemed to produce good rapport. AWOL is an escape from an adjustment problem, usually a 'domestic neurosis' of strong home attachment. Good morale can lessen the escape tendency.
