When only one commissioned officer is present with a command or detachment he shall be the summary courts-martial of that command or detachment and shall hear and determine all summary court-martial cases brought before him. Summary courts-martial may, however, be convened in any case by superior competent authority when considered desirable by him.\n\nC. The governor may by regulations restrict the authority to convene summary courts-martial to designated commands and attach units thereto for the administration of military justice.",
