[§124A-43]  Summary courts-martial of state
military forces not in federal service; who may convene.  (a)  In the state
military forces not in federal service, the commanding officer of a garrison,
fort, post, camp, air base, auxiliary air base, or other place where troops are
on duty, or of a brigade, regiment, wing, group, detached battalion, detached
squadron, detached company, or other detachment, may convene a summary
court-martial consisting of one commissioned officer.  The proceedings shall be
informal.



(b)  When only one commissioned officer is
present with a command or detachment the officer shall be the summary

summary court-martial cases brought before the officer.  Summary courts-martial
may, however, be convened in any case by superior competent authority when
considered desirable by the superior authority. [L 1982, c 171, pt of §2; gen
