A federal Judge or Federal Magistrate can and do hold court on military bases.
I cannot give you a back up link other than a news story, but 22 years of active duty good enough?

Yes a federal judge or magistrate can hold court on a military base for no military offensives by anyone who is on that base. A state judge can hold a hearing on a military base if the military member is awaiting disposition from a UCMJ offense. The civilian trial will be held off base after the federal government is done with him. One example that is similar is Michael Vick. He is doing Federal time and indicted by the state of Virgina. The Federal Government takes priority then comes the state.

Yes. A Federal magistrate can use a base to deal with those personnel who were cited for traffic violations who are not active duty members of the armed forces. My wife appeared before one at Camp Pendleton, California in the mid-1970s to answer for a speeding ticket.
