This is normal.
Military facilities are federal property under federal jurisdiction. They are not required to follow local laws on base unless they agree to.
Publicly announcing that they will not follow state abortion restrictions is virtue signaling. Getting outraged about the announcement is ignorance.

But you can't get an abortion at a military hospital so if a servicemember wanted an abortion in a state that has restricted it, what's the military going to do about it? Tricare also doesn't cover abortion.
OF course, the Dems are in total control and could change these laws if they wanted to but they'd rather just cry about them.
But, yes, the military makes their own rules with disregard to the states where their bases are located, as any servicemember with a concealed carry permit understands.
