Section 814. Art. 14. Delivery of offenders to civil authorities
(a) Under such regulations as the Secretary concerned may
prescribe, a member of the armed forces accused of an offense
against civil authority may be delivered, upon request, to the
civil authority for trial.
(b) When delivery under this article is made to any civil
