Yes, you are correct.
For anyone who is unfamiliar with Martial Law, here is the result of a Bing Search:
“Martial law
Martial law is the imposition of the highest-ranking military officer as the military governor or as the head of the government, thus removing all power from the previous executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government.”
