(1) If you had a joint bank account with your ex, unfortunately both of you had the right to take money out of the account.
(2) As the loan required your signature/power of attorney and they don't have it on file, then the issue is between her and the AER. They should never have approved the fraudulent loan without confirming the consent of the primary guarantor in some way. Otherwise the ex-spouses of numerous officers would walk in there and request a loan that was supposedly with the ex-spouse's consent.

What did the Army say?
