C.R.S. § 28-3.1-208: Who may convene summary courts-martial.

(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. Summary courts-martial may, however, be convened in any case by superior authority.
