The "Army+" app has introduced a new status for servicemen returning after unauthorized absence (AWOL). According to ArmyInform, once the report is approved, a white ribbon with the status "On the way" automatically appears in Army ID.
What the "On the way" status means
The status confirms that:
- the serviceman is voluntarily returning to service;
- the return report has been approved;
- the person is expected at the designated military unit.
Deadlines for arrival at the unit
The following timeframes for the status are established:
- for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the State Special Transport Service — 5 days to arrive;
- for the National Guard of Ukraine — 48 hours after the order is issued;
- if processed through the recruiting center — a paper summons is issued, also with a 5-day term.
What to do in case of a check while on the way
If the serviceman is stopped while traveling, it is necessary to:
- show the "white ribbon" in Army ID and the report in the "Army+" app
or
- present the paper summons.
