AWOL
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

AWOL abbreviates the U.S. military expression absent without official leave. The abbreviation may specifically refer to a soldier not at his or her assigned duty.

More generally, outside of military contexts, AWOL characterises something absent without leave: missing or gone.
