The Overdue Arrival process aims to provide timely processing for Airmen who are considered what at their gaining unit?

The Overdue Arrival process is primarily designed to address situations involving Airmen who do not show up for duty when expected at their gaining unit. This can lead to significant administrative and operational challenges, as the absence affects unit readiness and personnel management. By categorizing these individuals as "No-Shows," the process ensures that appropriate actions can be taken promptly to locate, account for, and address the situation of these Airmen. This designation is crucial because it triggers necessary protocols to ensure the welfare of the Airman while also safeguarding military operations and responsibilities.

The focus on "No-Shows" clearly distinguishes these individuals from others like those on leave, who are recognized as having a valid reason for their absence. Similarly, Airmen classified as absent without leave or transferring do not fall under the specific aim of the Overdue Arrival process, which is focused on managing and resolving the issues surrounding those who fail to arrive as scheduled without proper notification or authorization.
