The Army has forwarded the results of its investigation of Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl's disappearance to a four-star general who will decide if any disciplinary action is warranted.
The general could decide on a number of possible outcomes, ranging from no further action to a possible court martial for the soldier held by the Taliban for five years after he left his post eastern Afghanistan.
"After a thorough investigation and a comprehensive legal review, the investigation concerning Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl has been forwarded to a General Courts Martial Convening Authority, Gen. Mark Milley, commanding general of Forces Command," the Army said in a statement today.
"Gen. Milley will determine appropriate action -- which ranges from no further action to convening a court martial." The statement added that no further comments about the report and its findings would be made "while disciplinary decisions are pending before commanders."
U.S. Forces Command spokesperson Paul Boyce confirmed that Milley had received the report today.
"The commander will review carefully the Army's facts and findings to determine impartially any appropriate next steps and possible actions," Boyce said. "Given the need to thoroughly review the Army's comprehensive report, we can't speculate on the estimated timing of any possible next steps or actions."
Being Absent Without Leave (AWOL) and desertion are both violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and commanders can determine potential disciplinary outcomes that can include counseling, a reprimand, non-judicial punishment or a court martial.
Bergdahl could also face the possibility of losing out on some of the hundreds of thousands of dollars of back-pay he had earned during his captivity. Bergdahl was held by the Taliban for five years after he disappeared from his unit's outpost in eastern Afghanistan on June 30, 2009.

ten bucks says NJP at worst...
Probably, America-hating Clown prince nobama will give him the Medal of Honor somehow.
We traded 5 major terrorists for this traitor, yet, our JugEars did NOTHING for the Marine in Mexico.
All he had to say was that he was trying to get back to his unit when he was "captured".
The President will probably give him a medal.
When in fact he should have been hung as a traitor.
Is this a real four star general, or just another Obamoid fellow traveler, one of that cohort described as “perfumed princes” by Col Hackworth?
It positively pierces my heart to say so, but I also am glad to be away from what has become a political circus and whorehouse.
Is this before or after Obama purges the ranks....oh, wait
“No further action” and no purge will be needed, a general gotta think about his pension you know
.........much to harsh...................s/
5billion says he walks.
Good comment.
However, try to hold the rifle up with the right foot forward. Go ahead, I will give you the time < Jeopardy music...................< / jeopardy music>
See, more natural for a leftie to stand that way.
These were trained lefties that were asked to hold with the right on the trigger, so they did, but left the feet there.
BTW, Merry Christmas!
This ought to determine how deeply into the nation’s defense apparatus the black rot has permeated...
If the “Investigation” is only just NOW being finished, why did Obama release the Tangos for this guy MONTHS ago? And why isn’t anyone asking the WH that question?
Why is this report coming out AFTER the exchange for BB has already been done? Why didn’t the W.H. WAIT, for this report to conclude? Of COURSE the report will have to justify what BO has already done. They’re going to conclude ‘poor’ Bow has mental health issues, to make Obama out to be some sort of hero for “rescuing” him.
The timing of these things just makes Obama look like traitorous incompetent. So the ‘Report’ will be entirely suspect as well — more Lois-Lerner-dog-ate-my-emails-the-Video-did-it spin...
How is this twerp elevated to 4 star status? Doesn’t the command he is currently assigned to have a 2 star commander? What was he when he left, a PFC? He is a buck SGT now...Command influence?
Me too. Circa 1983.
