If I’m in the military and my ex has gotten into my home while I’m deployed, what is the process of getting her out?

Both of us are in the, military trying to solve the issue without telling our command. She is my ex-girlfriend and has family down the road to go home to. She tells me she not leaving unless a US Marshall makes her. She asked for 30 days but her family may bring drugs into my home. There is no lease agreement or permission for her to stay at my home.

You really need to involve the Sheriff's Department or US Marshall. She has broken into your home (unless she has a key and you never changed the lock). You need to inform the correct law enforcement aency that she has no permission to be on the premises and that her entry constitutes trespassing. This should be enough to convince her to leave if an officer approaches her. I understand you do not wish to get your comman involved; however, it seems it may be necessary to protect your military career.
