continuously. Absence without permission in military service have something in
common, namely both absent from duty, but there is a difference between the
two types of crime, namely, desertion is the permanent absence of a soldier or
commonly called leaving military service without permission. This absence
without permission by a member or soldier of the TNI for an unspecified time is
usually carried out for different reasons, such as those who do so for reasons of
economic factors, circumstances that make it impossible to attend, or
deliberately running away from duties and responsibilities. The effectiveness of
the criminalization of absenteeism without permission also needs to be reviewed
because considering that in military service there are military disciplinary laws
and military criminal laws, so whether this absence without permission needs to
be criminalized considering that there are rules regarding desertion.
Supervision and review of the rules regarding in order to create true soldiers
