§332. Compelling attendance of accused and witnesses

In the National Guard not in Federal service, the president of a court-martial or a summary court officer may-

(1) issue a warrant for the arrest of any accused person who, having been served with a warrant and a copy of the charges, disobeys a written order by the convening authority to appear before the court;

(2) issue subpenas duces tecum and other subpenas;

(3) enforce by attachment the attendance or witnesses and the production of books and papers; and

(4) sentence for refusal to be sworn or to answer, as provided in actions before civil courts.

(Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 609 .)

The words "Federal service" are substituted for the words "service of the United States". The word "may" is substituted for the words "shall have power". The words "for the arrest of any accused person who, having been served with a warrant and a copy of the charges, disobeys a written order" are substituted for the words "to arrest accused persons and to bring them before the court for trial whenever such persons shall have disobeyed an order in writing * * * a copy of the charge or charges having been delivered to the accused with such order".
