I would send my 1SG to the rear area, or wherever the mechanics went, with an armed escort to retrieve them. He is to place them into custody (military apprehension) and to start the paperwork for formal charges of desertion under the Articles of War. They will remain with the company under guard and will work their assigned duties until they are placed in pretrial confinement (likely after this battle). No one runs away in my unit and no one is too valuable to fight.
Thank you Hermann Wouk. This is a worthy addition to The Winds Of War, War and Remembrance, War and Peace and the collective Star Trek and Star Wars Franchises together. 😉

So missing mechanics are simple cowardice and malingering.
And here I was chasing the Butler around with a candlestick, looking 👀 for a CLUE 🕵🏻 ©️
