AWOL means Absent WithOut Leave. This happens when someone in the military leaves his or her unit without official permission. When they come back or are found it can result in loss of pay, loss of rank or confinement.

Absent without leave.
It's a military term to describe someone who would leave without permission.
Now we use it to describe a person whose whereabouts are unknown.
