(a) Before performing their respective duties, military judges,
members of general and special courts-martial, trial counsel,
assistant trial counsel, defense counsel, assistant or associate
defense counsel, reporters, and interpreters shall take an oath to
perform their duties faithfully. The form of the oath, the time and

as a military judge, trial counsel, assistant trial counsel,
defense counsel, or assistant or associate defense counsel may be
taken at any time by any judge advocate or other person certified
to be qualified or competent for the duty, and if such an oath is
taken it need not again be taken at the time the judge advocate or
other person is detailed to that duty.
(b) Each witness before a court-martial shall be examined on
oath.
