Re: military
Yes, so long as the person is still on active duty or subject to recall if a reservist; and if the statute of limitations has not passed. Many offenses are subject to a five year SOL, but there are others more serious which have no SOL.

It is somewhat unusual for this to happen but it certainly can. Unless an individual has been discharged or reenlisted, charges can be brought although they are at a new command.
Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any further questions.
