Ok so this wife has lied to our BC in different occasions for different reasons, she has created drama, rumors and conflict in the unit with spouses and soldiers and today she was harboring an ex-soldier who was missing for over a week.

Yes, dependents can be banned from base. It's fairly common. Especially if it involves misconduct or criminal activity on the dependents part.

They can and they are from time to time and it can happen very fast if needed.

Absolutely, access to the base/post is a privilege, not a right. If someone abuses that privilege, it can be taken away. I am sure there will be caveats, like does the couple have children that need access to post medical facilities and the like, but Deers can issue ID cards that restrict post amenities.

SGT James Belcher - one time years ago I did an escort that I will never forget. I did not mind doing it the child needed to go to the doctor and the spouse and the soldier were going threw a bad divorce and well did not handle that well. It was best to keep the soldier on post and the spouse off post. I did feel bad for the kid.

If the military wanted you to have a spouse, you would have been issued one.. Yes, dependents can be banned from an installation based on behavior and other factors. One other thing should be noted; dependents can ruin a service member's career based on their actions..

Blink of an eye. She was restricted from base and he was restricted to barracks. After he was off restriction she was still a no-go.

Reading into the question a bit, but how is that a spouse is harboring an AWOL Soldier and the husband accepted this?
If he did not report it, he's in a heap of trouble.
If he didn't know, hopefully he's smart enough to soon be single.

Short answer; Yes.
I have seen a couple occasions where dependents have been barred from post. Not an easy task but it can and has been done.

Yes they can it fact when I was in Hawaii the garrison actually had received several complaints about a wife and her two children ranging from breaking into a home, damaging property, and the kicker was when the wife was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and the command did an early return of dependent.

Yes. Installation Commander has that authority to ban certain individuals, even dependents, from the post to preserve good order and discipline.
In overseas assignments, they can withdraw command sponsorship and give them an EROD- Early Return Of Dependents. Escorted to the APOD by MPs and essentially deported.
