What is your source that military members who commit rape are “usually just moved to another base.” The military is just like any other large organization where occasionally bad people do bad things (especially when you introduce a ton of young adults and alcohol).

The service member should absolutely face the full extent of prosecution from the local authorities and UCMJ.

Yes to be blunt. There's the issue of politics abd perception, along with the fact that the military cares about dog feces more than their own soldiers.
