"Arrest" is a term used in everyday language. One meaning is "to seize
and
hold under the authority of law." If you don't think military police
have
the power to seize and hold civilians on a military installation then you
know nothing of military police.

And I am using 'arrest' in the manner I have been trained to use it.

Sure and the military told you what they wanted you to believe.
