What is meant by proprietary jurisdiction?

Proprietary jurisdiction refers to a legal status where the military retains certain rights similar to those of a property owner, but does not hold complete sovereignty over the area. This means that while the military has the ability to regulate activities and enforce rules on the property, it must still comply with state laws and regulations. In this type of jurisdiction, the federal government maintains a level of control necessary for military operations, yet the overall governance still resides with state authorities.

This distinction is important as it indicates that the military operates under a set of restrictions and obligations that come from the state, while still having the authority to manage its operations within the specified area. The other options describe different types of jurisdiction: complete control by the military, full administration by the federal government, or total state control over military operations, which are not characteristic of proprietary jurisdiction.
