1. Any person subject to sections 40.005 to 40.490 charged with an offense under sections 40.005 to 40.490 may be ordered into arrest or confinement, as circumstances may require; but when charged only with an offense normally tried by a summary court-martial, such person shall not ordinarily be placed in confinement. When any person subject to sections 40.005 to 40.490 is placed in arrest or confinement prior to trial, immediate steps shall be taken to inform the person of the specific wrong of which he is accused and to try him or to dismiss the charges and release him.

2. The convening authority of any court-martial shall have the power to issue warrants of apprehension directed to the sheriff or police officer within the proper county to apprehend persons subject to sections 40.005 to 40.490 charged with an offense under sections 40.005 to 40.490 and to deliver such persons into the custody of the state military forces.

3. In cases where the unit of which the accused is a member is not in a status of active state duty or engaged in annual field training, such accused, if apprehended or ordered into confinement prior to or during trial by a military court, may be admitted to bail by the officer exercising special court-martial jurisdiction over him or by a superior commanding officer, or the adjutant general.
