A single mother who was scheduled to deploy with her unit to Afghanistan on November 5 has been charged with missing movement, absence without leave, dereliction of duty and insubordinate conduct. The specialist’s mother was supposed to take care of her 10-month old son for the year-long deployment , but reportedly backed out a few days before the scheduled deployment. The New York Times report indicates that the matter will be scheduled for an Article 32 investigation.
