Bases have MPs. I can't speak for other branches but the MPs in the Corps were every bit as good as a modern large urban police force. I can't imagine it being sent different in the other branches.
Off base locations, such as recruiting stations and small installations remotely located from major bases rely on local law enforcement.
The vast majority of personnel in a modern armed force need little to no firearm experience and the risks and logistics of arming the would be huge.
Much like any other entity, attacks on military posts such as this recent scenario create severe problems in anticipating, preventing and responding. There are no easy, simple or clear answers.
