(2) The accused has the right to be represented in the accused s defense before a general or special court-martial by civilian counsel if provided by the accused, or by military counsel of the accused s own selection if reasonably available, or by the defense counsel detailed under ORS 398.136. Should the accused have counsel of the accused s own selection, the defense counsel and assistant defense counsel, if any, who were detailed, shall, if the accused so desires, act as associate counsel; otherwise they shall be excused by the military judge or by the president of a court-martial without a military judge.

(4) An assistant trial counsel of a general court-martial may, under the direction of the trial counsel or when qualified to be a trial counsel as required by ORS 398.136, perform any duty imposed by law, regulation or the custom of the service upon the trial counsel of the court. An assistant trial counsel of a special court-martial may perform any duty of the trial counsel.

(5) An assistant defense counsel of a general or special court-martial may, under the direction of the defense counsel or when qualified to be the defense counsel as required by ORS 398.136, perform any duty imposed by law, regulation or the custom of the service upon counsel for the accused.
