(1) The commanding officer of a garrison, fort, post, camp, air base, auxiliary air base, or other place where members of the military forces are on duty or of a division, brigade, regiment, wing, group, battalion, squadron, company, or other detachment may convene a summary court-martial consisting of one commissioned officer. The proceedings shall be informal.
(2) When only one commissioned officer is present with a command or detachment, he or she shall be the summary court-martial of that command or detachment and shall hear and determine all summary courts-martial cases brought before him or her.
