Known as the Colorado Code

The act spans §§ 28–28 (131 sections).

(1) In the military forces general, special, and summary courts-martial shall be constituted like similar courts of the armed forces of the United States. They shall have the jurisdiction and powers, except as to punishment, of a similar court of the armed forces of the United States and shall follow the forms and procedures provided by those courts. (2) The three kinds of courts-martial are: (a) General courts-martial, consisting of a military judge and not less than five members, or consisting of only a military judge, if before the court is assembled the accused, knowing the identity of the military judge and after consultation with defense counsel, requests in writing a court composed only of a military judge and the military judge approves; (b) Special courts-martial, consisting of a military judge and not less than three members, or consisting of only a military judge if the accused so requests under the same conditions as those prescribed in paragraph (a) of this subsection (2); (c) Summary courts-martial, consisting of one commissioned officer.
