| - In military terminology, desertion is the abandonment of a "duty" or post without permission and is done with the intention of not returning. "Absence Without Leave" (AWOL) can refer to either desertion or a temporary absence.
- Within the ranks of the Night's Watch, desertion is considered a form of oathbreaking. Deserters are not only hunted down by sworn brothers of the Watch but also by lords should a deserter enter his lands.
- Desertion was a human term describing the act of abandoning one's post in a military organization.
- Desertion was the crime of enlisted personnel abandoning the service in which they had been members. Guri, Renth and Rellus Tagrim had all deserted the Takret Militia by 2152 because they considered their leaders to be corrupt. (ENT: "The Catwalk") In 2370, Lieutenant Commander Calvin Hudson deserted Starfleet from his position as attaché to the colonies in the Demilitarized Zone to join the Maquis. (DS9: "The Maquis, Part I", "The Maquis, Part II") Lieutenant Ro Laren also deserted Starfleet for the Maquis in the same year. (TNG: "Preemptive Strike" )
- People who are away for more than 30 days but return voluntarily or indicate a credible intent to return may still be considered AWOL. Those who are away for fewer than 30 days but can credibly be shown to have no intent to return (for example, by joining the armed forces of another country) may nevertheless be tried for desertion. In rare occasions, they may be tried for treason if enough evidence is found. Failure to Repair consists of missing a formation or failing to appear at an assigned place and time when so ordered. It is a lesser included offense within Article 86 of the UCMJ.
- Desertion is the abandonment of duty without permission of one's government or superiors. Desertion is a court martial offense. In order to find one guilty of desertion, the prosecution must prove that the accused had intended not to return. Simple absence from duty does not constitute desertion, but can face the lesser charge of unauthorized absence, which may be handled through captain's mast.

- Desertion is the abandonment of duty without permission of one's government or superiors. Desertion is a court martial offense. In order to find one guilty of desertion, the prosecution must prove that the accused had intended not to return. Simple absence from duty does not constitute desertion, but can face the lesser charge of unauthorized absence, which may be handled through captain's mast. Johnathan Bucyrus faced possible desertion charges after he was found by the USS Baldwin in 2377. However, Baldwin's legal affairs officer, Sara Jackson, suggested that it might be difficult to prove desertion. She suggested that he plea to unauthorized absence and accept a reprimand. (USS Baldwin: "Wild Roses")

Those who are away for fewer than 30 days but can credibly be shown to have no intent to return (for example, by joining the armed forces of another country) may nevertheless be tried for desertion. In rare occasions, they may be tried for treason if enough evidence is found. In the United States, before the Civil War, deserters from the Army were flogged; while, after 1861, tattoos or branding were also adopted. The maximum U.S. penalty for desertion in wartime remains death, although this punishment was last applied to Eddie Slovik in 1945. No U.S. serviceman has received more than 24 months imprisonment for desertion or missing movement since the beginning of the post September 11, 2001 era. A US service member who is AWOL/UA may be punished with non-judicial punishment (NJP), or by court martial under Article 86 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice for repeat or more severe offenses. Many AWOL/UA service members are also given a discharge in lieu of court-martial. Missing Movement is another term which is used to describe when a member of the armed forces fails to arrive at the appointed time to deploy (or "move out") with their assigned unit, ship, or aircraft; in the United States military, it is a violation of the Article 87 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The offense is similar to absence without leave but can draw more severe punishment. Failure to Repair consists of missing a formation or failing to appear at an assigned place and time when so ordered. It is a lesser included offense within Article 86 of the UCMJ.
