Always. Let me give an example. A soldier at Fort Drum, NY engages in sex with a 15 year-old in Ontario, where the age of consent is 15. The parents catch them, and call the local police, who are unable to do anything about it, because she's legal according to Ontario law, and stated that it was with consent. So, the parents call the military police at Fort Drum, and that soldier is arrested the moment he arrives on post, because, even though he wasn't even in the country at the time, and even though he didn't break any local laws, he did violate the UCMJ, which applies to him at all times, no matter where he is.
