It makes no difference where he is, if the civilian law enforcement authorities notify the military that sufficient probable cause exists that he committed the crime, the military can take him into custody and ship him back to the US for trial. Depending on the seriousness of the offense the civil authorities might cede authority for his prosecution and punishment to the military justice system and he might be court martialled.
At what stage of your career can you turn down a set of military orders?
If you are not employed in the military, then you don't ever have to obey an order (unless you are on a military base or installation). If you are in the military, then any order given to you by a higher-ranked officer or NCO, or by your commanding officer, must be followed unless it violates the law. You can't ever decide to simply disobey an order just because of rank; doing so would get you court-martialled.
