"Military arrest" is often used to mean that a civilian is taken into military custody.

However, the civilian term "arrest" is termed "apprehension" by the military, being the physical act of detaining a violator of law.

The term "arrest" means the notification of an individual that charges will be sought in connection with an offense. In most cases, this entails restriction to quarters while the legal process proceeds.

The actual definition is Arrest : "moral restraint imposed on a person by oral or written orders of the competent authority, limiting the person's personal liberty pending disposition of the charges."

A military arrest can mean an arrest of a military member. It can be done for the same as civilian reasons - DWI-DUI, drug possession, assault, theft. Civilians are rarely arrested by military police, but usually when committing an offense on a military base.

Can a US Marshal arrest someone in the military?

A federal marshal does have a wide jurisdiction and can arrest a military official just like anyone else, but normally military police and a military court will deal with a soldier in an arrest case (if it happened on military property or while they are in service (DEPLOYED). Just because you are a soldier doesn't make you any less vulnerable to arrest. A village police officer can arrest a military official if a violation occurs in their jurisdiction. No soldier immunity in the U.S.Cheers!
