§333. Execution of process and sentence

In the National Guard not in Federal service, the processes and sentences of its courts-martial shall be executed by the civil officers prescribed by the laws of the States concerned. In a State where no provision is made for executing those processes and sentences, and in the Territories, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia, the process or sentence shall be executed by a United States marshal or deputy marshal, who shall make a return to the military officer issuing the process or the court imposing the sentence.

The words "In the National Guard not in Federal service * * * its courts-martial" are substituted for the words "said courts". The words "executing those processes and sentences" are substituted for the words "such action". The words "deputy marshal" are substituted for the words "his duly appointed deputy". The words "and it shall be the duty of any United States marshal to execute all such processes and sentences" are omitted as surplusage.
