I don’t see how this can possibly hold up. I believe there are precedents preventing civilian judges from sticking their noses into military matters.
I don’t remember the exact details, but I think it was a SCOTUS decision to that effect.

There is also the U.S. Supreme Court's precedent of molly-coddling Gitmo detainees by misapplying the Geneva Conventions and looking to "international law" for ways to overturn constitutional rights. With the black-robed clowns, the U.S. Constitution is a suicide pact. As long as they get invited to Washington's ruling class cocktail parties, the Supremes will fiddle while Rome burns.

This was likley a civil proceeding against the government, not the "military", although DoD is likely named as a defendant. Since a Department of the Government is being sued, the District court has jurisdiction.
