La. Stat. tit. 29 § 123
Special courts-martial may be convened by any person who may convene a general court-martial, an officer of general or flag rank in command, the commanding officer of a garrison, fort, post, camp, air base, auxiliary air base, naval base or station, or other place where members of the state military forces are on duty, or of a brigade, regiment, wing, group, vessel, detached battalion, separate squadron, or other detached command. If any such officer is an accuser, the court shall be convened by superior competent authority, and may in any case be convened by such authority if considered advisable by him. The governor may by regulations restrict the authority to convene special courts-martial to designated commands and attach units thereto for the administration of military justice.
