Sec. 720.21  Members or civilian employees subpoenaed as witnesses in 
State courts.

    Where members or civilian employees are subpoenaed to appear as 
witnesses in State courts, and are served as described in Sec. Sec. 
720.20, 720.20(d) applies. If these persons are requested to appear as 
witnesses in State courts when the interests of the Federal Government 
are involved (e.g., Medical Care Recovery Act cases), follow the 
procedures described in Sec. 720.22. If State authorities are 
attempting to obtain the presence of a member or a civilian employee as 
a witness in a civil or criminal case, and such person is unavailable 
because of an overseas assignment, the command should immediately 
contact the Judge Advocate General, or the Associate General Counsel 
(Litigation), as appropriate.
