This response is provided based on the information you shared and should not be used as the sole source for making a decision. You should seek guidance from the chain of command, IG, JAG or other certified agencies before making any decisions. How you chose to use this information is totally up to you and is your sole responsibility.
Most likely they can do this. However there may be some options available to you!
I do not believe there is a time limit, but would assume that waiting a year seems unreasonable and could be fought.
Depending on how much time you have in service you may be eligible for a separation board. If so you might consider using the board option to hear your case.
Also the chain of command can choose to provide you with a rehabilitative transfer.
Another option is they can process the separation action to the point of your removal and put it in suspension for up to 12 months. If there are no problems in the 12 month period you stay. If there is a problem you are separated.
Finally you stated that you were barred. Was the bar reviewed and eventually removed? Were you counseled as to the status of the bar? If the bar is still in place this may be the reason for the separation action.
See AR 635-200 for more details
