Military bases are considered as territories of the country occupying it and it is not governed by the law where it is located.

The first two answers you received were correct. However, the members of the military are subject to both federal and local laws.
For example, a servicemember owing child support or under a warrant of the local jurisdiction is subject to that jurisdiction. If a traffic or criminal violation occurs on a military base, then it is prosecuted under the UCMJ.

The more restriction you put on our military to more you risk your freedom. Besides, these are federal installations and not subject to state laws.

Traffic and minor criminal violations, while off duty, on a military base are taken care of by a Federal Magistrate, not under the UCMJ.

MILITARY BASES CANT BE SUBJECT TO ANY LAWS. HOWEVER THE PEOPLE ON THOSE BASES ARE SUBJECT TO THE LOCAL LAWS AND THE MILITARY LAWS.
