Pretty sure the active US military members can still keep their home state of residence (and car titles, etc.,) regardless of where they are stationed to in the US.
This is what I found:

Non-Resident Military Vehicle Registration
Members of the Armed Forces/NATO and their families who are stationed in California are not required to get a California vehicle registration. To legally drive in the state, military service members must:
Have valid CA auto insurance.
Have valid license plates issued from your state/country of residence, or the state/country of your last permanent duty station (you may be required to show orders or other documentation).
Have current registration in either your own or your spouse's name.
All out-of-state vehicle registrations must be renewed properly in the state/country where it was issued in order to be legal in California.
If you purchase a vehicle in California or choose to register your out-of-state vehicle with the CA DMV, you will qualify for a non-resident vehicle license fee exemption. Please see the information below for California military residents.

This is they way it was when I was in the service - many decades ago.
