Yep.

In fact in many cases the military usually still has jurisdiction within a one to five mile radius from the post boundaries.

At Ft. Polk, the MP’s can pull you over all along the 2 1/2 miles of Entrance Road between the gate and Highway 171.

My memory may be wrong here after 37 years but I was under the impression that MPs from Ft.Lewis had some authority on part of the interstate there by the post.

Wrong. MPs have jurisdiction over military personnel anywhere. In other cases, the geographical limits of the Post extend beyond area inside Main Gate.
