328(a) 328(b) | 32:93 (less last sentence). 32:93 (1st 32 words of last sentence). | June 3, 1916, ch. 134, §104, 39 Stat. 208. |

In subsection (a), the words “Federal service” are substituted for the words “service of the United States”. The words “where troops are on duty” are inserted for clarity. The words “for his command” are omitted, since they cast doubt on the right of a court-martial to try others than members of the command of the appointing authority. The words “air base, auxiliary air base”, “wing, group”, and “detached squadron” are inserted to clarify the applicability of the revised section to Air Force organizations. The words “convene” and “convened” are substituted for the words “appoint” and “appointed” to conform to 32:92 and similar provisions of section 823 of title 10 (article 23 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice). The words “when by the latter deemed advisable” are omitted as surplusage.
In subsection (b), the positive authority of a special court-martial to try any person subject to military law is omitted as covered by section 326 of this title.
In subsection (c), the words “for a single offense” are inserted for clarity.
