Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Yes, it is obligatory to obey with full caution.
A military policeman is authorised to direct traffic, and his directions and signals take priority over traffic signs and lights, just like those of a police officer. There is no exception for stop or no-entry signs. He responds to the actual situation, such as an accident, a convoy or a hazard. Still, obey with full caution, because other drivers may keep following the signs.
