Taylor Wyatt Elwood, 20, was arrested at Enoggera Barracks in Brisbane's north-west on July 3 after allegedly dragging the woman, aged in her 60s, out of her parked car and assaulting her.
He was further charged with allegedly assaulting an off-duty police officer who intervened, and wilful damage to the woman's car.
The woman was taken to hospital by ambulance for treatment of facial injuries and later released.
In July Mr Elwood was permitted by the court to relocate to Robertson Barracks in Darwin as part of the US Marine Rotational Unit.
He stayed in Darwin under bail conditions including that he not approach any international point of departure.
Represented by solicitor Dave Garrett, Mr Elwood appeared at Brisbane Magistrates Court on Tuesday morning as his application to vary his bail conditions was heard and approved.
The 1500 US Marines based in Darwin are coming to the end of their six-month deployment in the Northern Territory and will return to America.
Mr Elwood's case will next be heard in October.
