USADIP (United States Army Deserter Information Point) serves as the focal point for Army deserter reporting. Its mission is to maintain, verify, and disseminate information on regular Army, Army Reserve and Army National Guard deserters; to enter Army deserters into the Wanted Person File of the FBI National Crime Information Center in order to effect the return to military control of Army deserters.
Once a soldier is arrested or turns themselves in, USADIP is notified and arranges extradition with the post responsible for that area of extradition. (Per AR 190-40).
