trial counsel, defense counsel, or assistant defense counsel may be

taken at any time by any judge advocate or other person certified to be

not again be taken at the time the judge advocate or other person is

detailed to that duty.

(b) All witnesses before military courts shall be examined on oath or

affirmation.
