(b) The testimony may be read in evidence only by the defense in cases extending to the dismissal of a commissioned officer.
(c) The testimony may also be read in evidence before a court of inquiry or a military board.
(d) In all courts of inquiry both enlisted men and officers have the right to counsel and the right to cross examination of all witnesses.
