Not sure I buy this one. We always let the civilians take charge when they want to prosecute. Something tells me there was conflicting evidence, the civilians didn't think it was a strong case, so then the military tried a courts-martial

Wouldn’t military be considered federal under dual sovereignty or separate sovereigns allowing DA to still pursue afterwards if enough evidence?

It was the reverse order, but Timothy Hennis was acquitted by state/local and when new evidence acquired (DNA) he was recalled back into service at Fort Brag just to be court martialed for same crime (actions).
