Shortly after Jenkins was separated from Company C of the 1st Battalion, 8th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division along the Demilitarized Zone in January 1965, his voice was heard in broadcasts urging other soldiers to join him. Years later, he appeared in anti-U.S. propaganda movies and taught English at a school for North Korean intelligence agents.

It is the charges related to these actions that make this a desertion case, unless he was taken against his will, which is his likely defense.
My guess is that he will receive a dishonorable discharge, be treated for his ailment in Japan as he planned, and he will return to his home... North Korea.
