Sec. 630.15  Verification of deserter status.

    (a) When a person claims to be a deserter from the U.S. Army, the 
first receiving military authority must advise the person of his or her 
right per article 31 UCMJ and provide as much of the following data as 
possible to the provost marshal:
    (1) Name.
    (2) Social security number.
    (3) Date and place of birth.
    (4) Home of record.
    (5) Date and place of enlistment, date of alleged absence, and unit 
of assignment.
    (b) The provost marshal immediately completes a check of the NCIC 
and USADIP to confirm the deserter status. Deserter felon checks 
require:
    (1) The full name of the person.
    (2) Social security number.
    (3) Date of birth.
    (4) Place of birth.
    (5) Military service number if different from the social security 
number.
    (c) When necessary to establish identity at the request of the 
Chief, USADIP, the installation provost marshal forwards DD Form 369 
(Police Record Check) with a complete set of fingerprints to the 
Commander, U.S. Army Enlisted Records Center, ATTN: PCRE-RD, 
Indianapolis, IN 46249-5301. The fingerprints must also be accompanied 
by DD Form 616 in quadruplicate. In Item 9 of the DD Form 616 note: 
``For Information Only--Fingerprints attached.'' The Chief, USADIP 
forwards the fingerprint record to the FBI Identification Division, 
Washington, DC 20537-8700 for fingerprint comparison and identification.
    (d) In the event the status of the individual can not be immediately 
determined, the individual will not be detained. The Provost Marshal 
obtains information on how to contact the person once their status has 
been determined. On verification of status as absent or desertion, 
Chief, USADIP, provides instructions to the provost marshal returning 
the individual to military control.
