Sec. 72. (1) Before the vacation of the suspension of a special court-martial sentence which, as approved, includes a dishonorable or bad conduct discharge, or of a general court-martial sentence, the officer having special court-martial jurisdiction over the probationer shall hold a hearing on the alleged violation of probation. The probationer shall be represented at the hearing by counsel if the probationer desires. (2) The record of the hearing and the recommendation of the officer having special court-martial jurisdiction shall be sent for action to the governor in cases involving a general court-martial sentence and to the commanding officer of the force of the state military forces of which the probationer is a member in all other cases covered by subsection (1). If the governor or commanding officer vacates the suspension, the unexecuted part of the sentence shall be executed. (3) The suspension of any other sentence may be vacated for the command in which the accused is serving or assigned, by an authority competent to convene a court of the kind that imposed the sentence.
