Contact your husband's commanding officer and tell him that your husband wants you to leave him penniless so he can be with his girlfriend. Give him a copy of those naked pictures your husband's girlfriend gave you. I am sure he would like to know what kind of soldier he has working for him.
Also, your husband cannot make you leave and he can't leave you without anything either. Contact legal aid and see if you can get a lawyer to help you so your husband doesn't take complete advantage of you. And refuse to leave the family home. Since you are off-post, he can't make you and if he tries or he locks you out, call the cops. Oh, and don't believe a single word he says to you as I can guarantee you that all of it is self-serving, self-serving him! Take care/

I don't know what you mean by 'going to speak to a advocate' but the person you need to speak to is a lawyer. Right now, today. And, as painful as it is, you cannot do anything without a lawyer. Don't go into a divorce without legal representation. If necessary, in terms of getting support from your parents, tell them the situation and fortify yourself financially to get through the divorce with whatever you have a legal right to receive. Ask the lawyer if it is possible for your husband to be legally required to pay your legal bills. Be confident and strong - I know, it's very difficult now to feel that way - and deal with your husband legally and confidently, and don't back down from his intimidation.
Why do I say 'intimidation'? Because he's presented you with orders for what you have to do. He didn't discuss, he didn't ask, he didn't care. If you stand up for just your legal rights, he will not be happy; he thinks telling YOU what to do is all he ever has to do. This is so wrong. And it's not the legal system in this country.
So, please, see a good lawyer now (get a recommendation from someone who has dealt with the lawyer) and listen carefully to everything he says. Act promptly and follow the lawyer's directions to the letter - he's not your pal, he's not your friend, he's your representative in a court of law, dealing with a contract. So he's doing his job. Listen to him and respect that; ask questions, too, so that you understand fully what is going on.
Your parents will be helpful for moral support, and you can ask them for money as a loan (which you will have to pay back) but you're not a little kid. You're an adult!

When you divorce, the extra money he was getting for being married to you so you could get a house, will no longer be coming in to him. And you will not be entitled to it, because a civilian court must grant the divorce and can only recognize what he receives as his basic pay, not extra entitlements. You must tell the Judge Advocate when the separation occurs and when the divorce is declared to prevent him from committing a fraud by collecting that money when he's not supposed to. Military lawyers cannot handle divorces, but they can refer you to good, inexpensive ones there if you need help, and may be able to attach a portion of his pay to ensure you are receiving money during the separation.

You should be entitled to some cash aka spousal support from him. I think moving back in with parents away from a bad husband does not sound too bad to me...
But yeah get a non military lawyer ASAP.....

Instead of taking the mindset of 'Oh my god he can't be doing this to me', realize that it has been coming for a long time and you need to look forward, not backwards. He will not change his mind about the divorce and you must make plans for yourself for the future. You must think about how you will support yourself in the near future.

As long as you are married to a service member he is responsible to ensure that you have a place to live. If you seperate, and are still married, he still must give you shelter.
Do not let him bully you. If you go up against him and he processes his paperwork faster, so what.
