The U.S. Army says no decision has been made as to whether to charge Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl with desertion, despite some media reports claiming those charges are "imminent."

According to a story from The Army Times, representatives from the Pentagon said that "there have been no actions or decisions" coming from its investigation into the circumstances surrounding the capture of Bergdahl by Taliban forces.

"Sgt. Bergdahl has not been charged with any crime," said Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby during a press briefing Tuesday afternoon.

"No decision has been made with respect to the case of Sgt. Bergdahl," Kirby said. "None. There is no timeline to make that decision, and Gen. [Mark] Milley is being put under no pressure to make a decision."

Bergdahl disappeared from Combat Outpost Mest-Lalak in Paktika province, Afghanistan, on June 30, 2009. Five years later, he was swapped for five Taliban members housed at the Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba.

"The investigation is still with the Commanding General of US Army Forces Command who will determine appropriate action - which ranges from no further action to convening a court martial," said Major General Ronald F Lewis.

Other media outlets, citing anonymous sources, say Bergdahl will face desertion charges.

According to an NBC News story, Bergdahl will face a lesser charge of desertion -- leaving a post to avoid duty or shirk an important assignment.

That charge carries a maximum penalty of 5 years in prison.
