You wouldn't want one to. Too many differences in law, evidence, and so one. Just like you wouldn't want a patent attorney to represent you in a murder case, except even more so.

Yes, but at the expense of the defendant. Guaranteed by the UCMJ.

Yes, a defendant can have a civilian attorney representing him in a court-martial, although he will also have a defense counsel from the Judge Advocate General of Fort Hood...
