Before performing their respective duties, military judges, general and special
courts-martial members, trial counsel, defense counsel, reporters and interpreters
shall take an oath or affirmation in the presence of the accused to perform their
duties faithfully. The form of the oath or affirmation, the time and place of the
taking thereof, the manner of recording the same, and whether the oath or
affirmation shall be taken for all cases in which these duties are to be performed or
for a particular case, shall be as prescribed in regulation or as provided by law.
These regulations may provide that an oath or affirmation to perform faithfully the
duties as a military judge, trial counsel, or defense counsel may be taken at any time
by any judge advocate or other person certified or designated to be qualified or
competent for the duty, and if such an oath or affirmation is taken, it need not again
be taken at the time the judge advocate or other person is detailed to that duty.
Each witness before a court-martial shall be examined on oath or affirmation.
