-STATUTE-
      (a) Commissioned officers of the Army may be detailed as general
    staff officers and as inspectors general.
      (b) Members of the Army may be detailed to duty in particular
    fields specified by the Secretary, including intelligence, counter-
    intelligence, and military government.
      (c) Members of the Army appointed in or assigned to one branch
    may be detailed for duty with any other branch.
      (d) Members of the Army while not on active duty may be assigned
    to any basic or special branch, or to such other branches or
    groups, and to such organizations, as the Secretary considers
    appropriate.
      (e) No officer of the Army may be assigned to perform technical,
    scientific, or other professional duties unless he is qualified to
    perform those duties and meets professional qualifications at least
    as strict as those in effect on June 28, 1950. If the duties to
    which an officer is assigned involve professional work that is the
    same as or is similar to that usually performed in civil life by a
    member of a learned profession, such as engineering, law, medicine,
    or theology, the officer must have the qualifications, by
    education, training, or experience, equal to or similar to those
    usually required of members of that profession, unless the
    exigencies of the situation prevent.
