MS Code § 33-13-11 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 33 - Military Affairs|Chapter 13 - Mississippi Code of Military Justice|Article 1 - General Provisions|§ 33-13-11. Dismissal of commissioned officer

  If any commissioned officer, dismissed by order of the Governor, makes a written application for trial by court-martial, setting forth, under oath, that he has been wrongfully dismissed, the Governor, as soon as practicable, shall convene a general court-martial to try that officer on the charges on which he was dismissed. A court-martial so convened has jurisdiction to try the dismissed officer on those charges, and he shall be considered to have waived the right to plead any statute of limitations applicable to any offense with which he is charged. The court-martial may, as part of its sentence, adjudge the affirmance of the dismissal, but if the court-martial acquits the accused he shall retain his status in the Mississippi military forces.   If the Governor fails to convene a general court-martial within three (3) months from the presentation of an application for trial under this code, the Adjutant General of Mississippi, or his designee, acting on behalf of the Governor, shall substitute for the dismissal ordered by the Governor a form of discharge authorized for administrative issue.   If a discharge is substituted for a dismissal under this code, the Governor alone may reappoint the officer to such commissioned grade and with such rank as, in the opinion of the Governor, that former officer would have attained had he not been dismissed. The reappointment of such a former officer may be made only if a vacancy is available under applicable tables of organization. All time between the dismissal and the reappointment shall be considered as actual service for all purposes.   If an officer is discharged from the state military forces by administrative action or by board proceedings under law, he has no right to trial under this section.

The authority to order such persons into arrest or confinement may not be delegated.   No person may be ordered into arrest or confinement except for probable cause.

  Any commissioned officer of the state military forces in a duty status is eligible to serve on all courts-martial for the trial of any person who may lawfully be brought before such courts for trial.   Any warrant officer of the state military forces in a duty status is eligible to serve on general and special courts-martial for the trial of any person, other than a commissioned officer, who may lawfully be brought before such courts for trial.     Any enlisted member of the state military forces in a duty status who is not a member of the same unit as the accused is eligible to serve on general and special courts-martial for the trial of any enlisted member of the state military forces who may lawfully be brought before such courts for trial, but he shall serve as a member of a court only if, before the conclusion of a session called by the military judge under Section 33-13-207 [repealed] of this code prior to trial or, in the absence of such a session, before the court is assembled for the trial of the accused, the accused personally has requested in writing that enlisted members serve on it. After such a request, the accused may not be tried by a general or special court-martial the membership of which does not include enlisted members in a number comprising at least one-third (1/3) of the total membership of the court, unless eligible members cannot be obtained on account of physical conditions or military exigencies.

No member of the state military forces is eligible to serve as a member of a general or special court-martial when he is the accuser or a witness for the prosecution or has acted as investigating officer or as counsel in the same case.
